Rockets fired after day of mourning for slain Iranian leader
Baghdad | Thousands took to the streets of Baghdad for the funeral procession of Iran's top general at the weekend after he was killed in a US airstrike, as the region braced for the Islamic Republic to fulfil its vows of revenge.
The day of mourning in the Iraqi capital ended on Saturday evening (Sunday AEDT) with a series of rockets that were launched and fell inside or near the Green Zone, which houses government offices and foreign embassies, including the US Embassy.
