Thousands mourn in Baghdad Iranian, Iraqi commanders killed by U.S.

Thousands in Baghdad participated in a funeral of Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis on Saturday. On Friday, the U.S. assassinated Soleimani, head of Iran's elite Quds Force, and al-Muhandis, deputy chief of Iraq's Hashd Shaabi forces in Baghdad. Mourners chanted anti-U.S. slogans while following military vehicles carrying the coffins. Tight security measures were taken in Baghdad as its main roads and bridges were blocked.■
