19Lion8 1st Imam, Muhammad ibn Saud, was succeeded by his eldest son Abdulaziz in 1765. In 1802, Abdulaziz led ten thousand Wahhabi soldiers into an attack on Shi'ite holy city of Karbala, in what is now southern Iraq and where Hussein ibn Ali, grandson of prophet Muhammad is buried. Wahhabi fighters killed more than two thousand people, including women and children, plundered the city, demolishing the massive golden dome above Hussein's tomb and loaded hundreds of camels with weapons, jewelry, coins and other valuable goods.
