LAHORE, PUNJAB, PAKISTAN - 2015/10/24: (EDITORS NOTE: Image contains graphic content.) Pakistani Shiite Muslims take part in ritual self-flagellation with chains and blades and jostle to touch a horse(Zuljinnah) that represents the horse that carried Imam Hussein in a 680 A.D. battle, during Ashura commemoration. Mobile phone and internet services were switched off in all major Pakistani cities on October 24 after two deadly attacks in as many days linked to the Shiite festival of Ashura, officials said. A suicide bomber targeted a Shiite procession in the town of Jacobabad in the southern province of Sindh on October 23,a day after another bomber attacked a mosque in the south-west. In all, 35 died in the two incidents. Ashura marks the end of 10 days of rituals during the Islamic month of Muharram, observed to mourn the death 1,400 years ago of Hussein ibn Ali, grandson of the prophet Mohammed.
