Thousands Gather On The Street Of Baghdad For General Soleimani's Funeral(Pics) by Explorers(op): 2:00pm On Jan 04, 2020*

Thousands of furious mourners thronged in the streets of Baghdad today during funeral processions for the slain Iranian general Qassem Soleimani and an Iraqi militia commander who died with him during yesterday's US strike.

They chanted 'Death to America' and 'America is the Great Satan' as they walked beside the coffins of Soleimani, architect of Iran's global military strategy, and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Kataeb Hezbollah chief, in Baghdad.

A militia vehicle, a large Chevrolet truck is adorned with flowers and posters of the Iranian general as his coffin is driven through the streets of the Iraqi capital on Saturday.
