Qasem Soleimani's body arrives in Iran, funeral proceedings begin
2020-01-05
[Jpost] The body of Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani
, who was killed in Iraq in a U.S. military strike, was returned to Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
on Sunday, the official IRIB news agency reported.

Soleimani's body was flown to the city of Ahvaz in southwest Iran.

IRIB posted a video clip of a casket wrapped in an Iranian flag being unloaded from a plane as a military band played.

Thousands of mourners dressed in black marched through Ahvaz, in live footage aired on state TV.

Soleimani, the architect of Tehran’s overseas clandestine and military operations as head of the Revolutionary Guards’ Quds Force, was killed on Friday in a U.S. dronezap on his convoy at Baghdad airport.

Modern, more efficient version of Hung, Drawn, and quartered. Each piece should be displayed in a different city. The hand with the ring in DC.

#5  There's a precedent: medieval relics.

Maybe the various body parts could be distributed across different mosques, depending on how much each contributes to the Mullahs' Suleimani Fund

#3  A web search turns up a picture of a charred bloody corpse minus arms and legs. No way to know if it is him or one of his companions.
