CORRECTING BYLINE AND IPTC CITY Shiite Muslim pilgrims walk past green banners bearing pictures and religious texts praising Prophet Mohammad's grandson, Imam Hussein, on the road between the holy cities of Najaf and Karbala, 110 kms (70 miles) south of the Iraqi capital Baghdad, on January 29, 2010. Shiites are preparing for the Arbaeen religious event, which marks the end of 40 days of mourning after the Ashura anniversary that commemorates the seventh century killing of the revered Imam. Arbaeen will see tens of thousands of Iranian pilgrims pass through Baghdad en route to Karbala to pay homage at the Imam Hussein shrine.
