Tens of thousands of people had gathered in the southeastern city of Kerman to pay tribute to General, whose killing in a US drone strike in Iraq on Friday plunged the region into a new crisis and raised fears of a broader conflict.
About 213 people were injured, an emergency services official told the semi-official Fars news agency.“Today because of the heavy congestion of the crowd, unfortunately, a number of our fellow citizens who were mourning were injured and a number were killed,” emergency medical services chief Pirhossein Kolivand told state television.
Soleimani, who commanded the elite Quds Force, was responsible for building up Tehran’s network of proxy armies across the Middle East. He was a key figure in orchestrating Iran’s long-standing campaign to drive US forces out of Iraq.
Ohhh the number has gone up to 50 ......mmmmm .
