A number of Shia Muslims injure their bodies with blades that bonded chains in the procession ahead of Ashura in Kabul, Afghanistan, Friday (12/02/2011). Ashura is the 10th day of the month of Muharram in the Islamic calendar. The day was commemorated as the day Shiite Muslims mourn the death of Imam Husayn bin Ali, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad at the Battle of Karbala in 61 AH (680 AD).
