Baghdad, ST- Tens of thousands of Iraqi mourners flocked to the Shalamcheh border crossing with Iran to receive the body of the deputy commander of the Popular Mobilization Units, Abo Mahdi al-Muhandis, who was martyred last Friday in an assassination attack by American planes near Baghdad International Airport, which also led to the martyrdom of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani, commander of al- Quds Force in the Revolutionary Guard and others of their companions.

The Iraqi News Agency mentioned that among the mourners were a number of officials, leaders in the popular units, and representatives of various political and civil parties and forces.

On Saturday, hundreds of thousands of Iraqis participated in the funeral processions for Soleimani, al-Muhandis and their companions that took place in Kazemiya, Karbala, and Najaf in Iraq. Then the bodies were transported to Iran on Sunday, where there was a first funeral in the city of Ahvaz, the center of Khuzestan Province in southwestern Iran, and then to Tehran where the leader of the Islamic revolution in Iran, Imam al-Sayyid Ali Khamenei, led the funeral prayer for the bodies of the martyrs, and millions of Tehran’s people participated in the funeral.
