Lesley Hazleton: What Happened at Karbala?

Dave Beck
10/03/2009

Lesley Hazleton is a Seattle author and journalist who has written books about Jerusalem, Jezebel and the biblical Mary. She's traveled extensively through the Middle East. And yet, in 2004, she watched the Ashura Massacre in Karbala, Iraq and couldn't understand why it was happening. So, she went in search of the story of the Shia–Sunni Split in Islam. Her research led to the new book "After The Prophet: The Epic Story of the Shia–Sunni Split in Islam." Lesley spoke with KUOW's Dave Beck about how the history changed her perspective on the politics of the region.
