Hundreds of thousands of mourners are gathering in Baghdad for the funeral procession of Iran's Major-General Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi paramilitary chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, both killed on Friday. Mourners marched in the streets alongside militia vehicles in a solemn procession. Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdul-Mahdi is among the mourners. Soleimani, along with other Iraqi military leaders, were killed in an U.S. air strike at Baghdad's international airport.
