BAGHDAD - Thousands of mourners gathered in Baghdad on Saturday ahead of a funeral procession for Iran’s slain military commander Qassem Soleimani, Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis and others killed in a U.S. air strike in Iraq.
Soleimani was Tehran’s most prominent military commander and the architect of its growing influence in the Middle East. Muhandis was the deputy commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilisation Forces umbrella body of paramilitary groups. Earlier on Saturday, Iraq’s PMF had said further air strikes near camp Taji had killed six people and critically wounded three when they hit a convoy of medics.
“FACT: the coalition ... did not conduct airstrikes near Camp Taji in recent days,” a coalition spokesman said on Twitter.
