A paramedic attends to a Pakistani Shi'ite Muslim man after he flagellated himself during an Ashura ceremony to mark the death of Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad in Rawalpindi November 25, 2012. Shi'ite mourners beat themselves during Ashura with steel-tipped flails or slash their bodies with knives to mark the death anniversary of Imam Hussein, a grandson of the Prophet Mohammad, who was killed during a battle in A.D. 680 in Kerbala, a city in modern-day Iraq.
