Iraqis are marking Eid al-Fitr but the ceremonies are far different from those of previous years. They’re mourning at least 250 people who lost their lives in a huge explosion a few days before the festivities. The people say the Baghdad blast was aimed at creating sectarian rift in the country. But they insist that they will stand united to foil the plots of Takfiri terrorists.
