The twin explosions that took place in quick succession on April 14, 2006, occurred in the city of Al-Askariya, located in Iraq. These blasts targeted a Shiite shrine, specifically the Askariya Mosque, which is one of the holiest sites for Shia Muslims. The attacks were part of a broader wave of sectarian violence in the region during that period. The incident led to significant outrage and exacerbated tensions between Sunni and Shia communities in Iraq.
