Qasem Soleimani funeral with sound track and chants of 'Death to America'
2020-01-04
[Evening Standard] Thousands of mourners chanted "death to America" as they marched in a funeral procession through Baghdad for Iran's top general killed in a US airstrike.

General Qasem Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds force and mastermind of its regional security strategy, was killed in an airstrike overnight on Friday near the Iraqi capital’s airport .

US President Donald Trump says he ordered the strike to prevent a conflict but Iran has vowed harsh retaliation, raising fears of an all-out war.

Washington has dispatched 3,000 troop reinforcements to the region.

The mourners, mostly men in black military fatigues, carried Iraqi flags and the flags of Iran-backed militias that are fiercely loyal to General Soleimani.

#4  Was it anything like Ayatollah Khomeini's funeral you know when they bounced him out of his casket carrying it on their shoulders? Golden moment in Iran's rich history.

#3  Do you want the regular funeral with "Death to America" threats or something special. We can add the "Splat" that occurred just after the drone hit for a little more on the recording. However, it might require a little editing and sound effects. That'll cost you a few more rials (dollars if we can get them). For A Few Dollars More, we can provide you with a holographic representation.

Come up with a different script assholes. This is beyond boring.
