    Iraqis make Arba`iniyah trek via Airport Road

    Offering Zardaa, a traditional cinnamon-spiced rice pudding, Iraqis wait in Mowaaed Al-Rahman, tents and stands that line the routes to Karbala during the pilgrimage for the Arba'een holiday. Shiite Muslims conduct an annual pilgrimage to the city in observance of the Islamic holiday, Arba'een. Soldiers of Company E, 1st Battalion, 22nd Infantry Regiment, attached to the 1st Special Troops Bn., 1st Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, deployed to the Rashid District of southern Baghdad in support of Multi-National Division - Baghdad, assisted Iraqi security forces providing security for the religious observance that was once forbidden by the Saddam regime. The combat engineers are responsible for maintaining the "Raider" Brigade's route clearance mission, assisting ISF to ensure that the roads are free of improvised explosive devices and unexploded ordnance.
