Burial of Iran's Quds Force General Soleimani underway

Newsday

Available for over a year

Huge numbers of black-clad mourners have turned out to pay their final respects to Iranian military commander Qasem Soleimani ahead of his burial. No group has so far claimed responsibility for a bomb attack in north-eastern Nigeria that killed at least 30 people, which ripped through a crowded market on a bridge near the border with Cameroon. Kenyan police have said they killed two members of the Somalia-based al-Shabab group in a dawn raid near the border between the two countries.
