translated from Spanish: Thousands of Iranians fire General Qasem Seleimani

Baghdad, Iran.- Thousands of people gathered from early Saturday morning in Baghdad to say the final goodbye stom to Iranian General Qasem Soleimani; to the commander of the Iraqi paramilitary Shia Popular Mobilization Forces (FMP), Abu Mahdi al Mohandes, and eight other military from both countries killed Friday by a U.S. drone at Iraq’s capital airport.
Funerals kick off while the region holds the encouragement awaiting an Iranian response to the attack, whose Army has reiterated that it foresees “tough revenge,” albeit without precipitation.
This Saturday, several rockets have fallen into Baghdad’s Green Zone, its neighborhood (Jadriya) and Balad Air Base, which houses U.S. troops, without causing deaths, the Iraqi Army has reported. Police sources told Reuters agency that five people have been injured by a mortar shell in Jadriya.
Flying flags of Shia parties and armed groups and dressed in black or dark colors, the funeral participants marched peacefully from the shrine of Kadhimiya, along the Tigris River, to the cry of “revenge!” or “death to America!”
The funeral of the controversial commander of Al Quds, the elite force of the Revolutionary Guard, will take several days and his body will be taken, along with Mohandes’s, to Kerbala and Nayaf, sacred cities for the Shia tradition of Islam.
Soleimani’s body will be repatriated on Sunday to Iran. At Imam Reza’s shrine in Mashhad, in the northeast of the country, his mortal remains will be laid out for a day before he is offered a state ceremony in Tehran on Monday. The next day he will be buried in his home province, Kerman, according to information from official Iranian agencies.
