IRAN-IRAQ-US-UNREST- BURIAL
Iranians mass for funeral in hometown of general killed by US
KERMAN, Iran, Jan 7, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Iranians gathered in Kerman for the
burial Tuesday of top general Qasem Soleimani in the final stage of funeral
processions after he was killed in a US strike in Iraq.
The massive number of mourners in the hometown of the slain commander of
the Revolutionary Guards’ foreign arm appeared to match the huge turnout seen
in the cities of Tehran, Qom, Mashhad and Ahvaz.
