From the thumbnail I thought this was going to be another kid killed in mideast violence. Then I thought it was a mother consoling a kid hurt in mideast violence.

Turns out the kid's forehead was cut during a ceremony: part of Ashoura, the Shiite Muslim religious festival which marks the AD 680 battle in which Imam Hussein, the grandson of Islam's Prophet Mohammed, was killed.
