Attack
The female suicide bomber blew herself up at a rest stop along the route the pilgrims were taking to a Shia religious festival held in Karbala. The rest stop had a security search area, which is where the bomber detonated her explosives belt. There was a similar attack on the same pilgrims last year, which killed 40.[3]
gollark: What's `findRem` doing? Doesn't Haskell have a mod function?
gollark: It's going to have a fun feature where if it detects that you're running it *while* the uninstaller is open, it will subtly mess up your answers.
gollark: After realizing I had absolutely no idea how the "general number field sieve" and such worked, I just decided to implement Pollard's ρ one, but it requires gcd which Lua doesn't have, so I'm looking up the Euclidean algorithm.
gollark: So I wanted to do it in a convoluted way, so I looked at a bunch of prime factorization algorithms.
gollark: So I thought it would be funny if potatOS shipped with a program to factor primes for you.
