What Is Karbala About?

The premise of Karbala without spoilers.

During the holiday of Ashura in 2004, Iraqi rebels supporting Shiite leader Muktada As-Sadr initiated an insurgency within the Polish zone. Polish, Bulgarian, and Iraqi police forces were tasked with defending City Hall, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Grzegorz Kaliciak. The ensuing clash escalated into the most significant Polish military engagement since World War II. While no allied soldiers were killed, approximately 80 insurgents lost their lives during a counter-attack.
