and yes, your term is wrong, only of them is called such, but the other had another name, I agree with what brother "Khemais Chaieb" said.
Hope this can help.

: This is not right translation dear sister, the asker is talking about shrines in Iraq, this is not a military term, your translation is completely different.

Marqad al-Imamayn (Alī l-Hādī wa l-Hassan al Askari)

هذا تعبير خاطئ في العربية، لأن الصحيح هو مرقد الإمامين الهادي والعسكري في سامراء
I would translate it as follows: Mausoleum of the two Imams Hedi and Askeri

Al-Askariya Shrine
The famous shrine in Samarra which was bombed in February 2006 is Al-Askariya shrine (or Shrine). I'm unsure as to why it is in dual case...it was bombed twice I believe, but it's only one shrine, so maybe the original writer was confused and thought that two separate shrines were bombed.
