Karim Rahim Judi Yacoubi, bottom left, holds the corpse of his dead brother, Naim, age 37, as he and his brothers, Salim, center in green jacket, and Hadi, right, scream out in grief in the washroom where Naim’s body was being prepared for burial in the Najaf cemetery. Naim was killed during a suicide bombing on Election Day in Baghdad. Naim was killed while he was taking tea to election officials at an Iskin neighborhood polling station where he had voted earlier that day. The family had been delayed in taking the body to Najaf for burial because of the election holiday travel ban. While many Iraqis were joyous to have the opportunity to vote, others paid the ultimate price.
