At least 11 Iraqi pilgrims were killed and 10 were injured when their bus driver fell asleep at the wheel and the bus overturned, the official IRNA news agency reported Sunday.
Saturday's accident took place near the town of Shahroud,
350 kilometers northeast of Tehran, the agency said.
The pilgrims were heading to the holy city of Mashhad in
northeastern Iran after visiting a shrine in Iran's central
city of Qom. (Albawaba.com)
