Thousands of people gathered at the funeral of Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani who was killed in an American drone strike.
A funeral procession took place for Major General Soleimani and Iraqi militant leaders, including paramilitary chief Abu Mahdi al Muhandi, and eight others who died.
Mourners – mostly men in black military fatigues – carried Iraqi flags and the flags of Iran-backed militias who are fiercely loyal to Maj Gen Soleimani.
Iraq’s prime minister has declared three days of national mourning for those who were killed in the airstrike.
