Iraqi people hold rally to condemn US killing of anti-terror commanders on 1st anniversary

A group of Iraqi people have held a rally in Baghdad to condemn the US assassination of anti-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and his top Iraqi comrade Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis ahead of the first anniversary of the drone strike.

The Saturday rally, which was held in Baghdad’s Tahrir Square, was attended by dozens of Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), better known as Hashd al-Sha’abi, and their supporters. Iraq’s Shafaq News reported that military vehicles and ambulances were accompanying the demonstrators in support for their protest. The Iraqi police also closed all the streets leading to the place where protesters from various parts of the capital had gathered together. US terrorists assassinated IRGC Quds Force Commander General Soleimani and PMU Deputy Commander Muhandis along with their companions, by targeting their vehicles outside the Baghdad airport on January 3. The act of terror was carried out under the direction of the outgoing White House occupant, with the US Defense Department, the Pentagon, taking responsibility for the strike. Both distinguished commanders were viewed by the world's freedom-seeking people as the key figures in defeating Daesh, the world’s most notorious terrorist group, in the Middle East battles.
