Kashmiris Condemn US Assassination of Genera Soleimani
The demonstrators condemned the heinous crime, chanting ‘death to America’ and ‘death to Israel’.
They also carried banners and placards as well as photos of Martyr Soleimani and Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei.
General Soleimani, who commanded the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), was admired as the Middle East's most influential and charismatic counter-terrorism leader. He played a key role in helping Iraq and Syria defeat foreign-backed terrorists, chiefly Daesh, in late 2017.
The top commander was assassinated on January 3, 2020 in a drone strike in Baghdad upon a direct order by US President Donald Trump.
His Iraqi trenchmate Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy commander of Iraq’s Hashd al-Sha’abi anti-terror force, along with several others were also killed when their convoy was hit.
