Shiites in Baghdad touch the grave of Imam al-Khadim, in one of the holy Islamic rituals. Whilst Iraq is still home to thousands of American soldiers, Muslims find time for their rituals.
When the international forces go, the Iraqis and Americans ask if the peace will continue.
There are less bomb attacks, and the bloodshed is stagnating. However, attacks are still being announced in the crumbled country. However, the withdrawal deadline for US troops is by 2011, which is coming closer, and the answer to the mentioned question is getting closer.
Take a look at the photographs that mark the day in the photo gallery: Day in Photos February 27, 2009.
