Shiite Pilgrims in the line of fire in Iraq.<br/> <br />At least 26 people were killed Saturday when two car bombs exploded in Baghdad. It was the third day of bombings to strike Shi'ite pilgrims this week, as observers fear insurgents are trying to tip Iraq back into widespread sectarian violence.<br/> <br />.<br/> <br />(SOUNDBITE) (Arabic) HAIDER GHAREEB, BLAST WITNESS, SAYING:<br/> <br />"When the pilgrims finish their visit they usually come to get a lift from this park. The blast took place here and when we we arrived we found scattered bodies. What was the reason? What did they do? They are only pilgrims."<br/> <br />Iraq's al Qaeda wing was weakened by its long war with U.S. and Iraqi security forces. But since the last American troops<br/> <br />left in December, the group and other Sunni Islamist insurgents have carried out a major attack about once a month this year.<br/> <br />Deborah Lutterbeck, Reuters
