Nothing on CNN's website yet. From Australian press:

Explosions kill five in Iraq
From correspondents in Karbala, Iraq
March 02, 2004

SEVERAL explosions were heard in Karbala, where hundreds of thousands of Shiite Muslim pilgrims are marking the mourning festival of Ashoura. At least five people were killed.

An Associated Press reporter said the streets were an absolute chaos with people running to seek shelter as a series of at least five explosions went off nearly simulataneously after 10 a.m. local time in and around the city, 80 kilometers (55 miles) south of Baghdad.

It wasn't known what the target of the explosions were.
