Hundreds of thousands of Shi'ite pilgrims have gathered in the holy Iraqi city of Karbala for the annual Ashura commemoration, despite the threat of Sunni extremist attacks.
Iraq's security forces have deployed tens of thousands of troops to protect the pilgrims, who are observing the 7th century death of Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Hussein, one of Shi'ite Islam's most revered figures. His death marks the rift between Shi'ite and Sunni Islam.
Sunni militants from the Islamic State group have claimed responsibility for multiple deadly attacks against Shi'ites who were traveling to Karbala for Ashura.
Meanwhile, Human Rights Watch says Islamic State fighters tortured and abused Kurdish children they abducted from the northern Syrian town of Kobani.
The group said Tuesday it interviewed four boys from a group of 153 who were taken in late May and held in a town 55 kilometers from Kobani.
Human Rights Watch said the boys described beatings for anyone who tried to escape or did anything their captors considered misbehavior. The boys were also barred from speaking Kurdish, forced to pray five times a day and to watch videos of captives being beheaded.
A Kurdish official told the New York-based group that the militants released the final group of 25 of the boys last week.
Fred Abrahams, special advisor for children's rights at Human Rights Watch, said the evidence of Islamic State militants torturing and abusing children shows why "no one should support their criminal enterprise."
Kurdish fighters have been battling for two months to hold off a push by Islamic State fighters trying to take over Kobani.
U.S. military jets have carried out airstrikes to aid the Kurds, including four Sunday and Monday in the Kobani area.
