Assifa Abbas, 50, is one of the thousands of Iraqis attending the funeral procession of Qasem Soleimani in Baghdad. Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy head of the militia was killed alongside Soleimani. "This strike killed our heroes but it created a thousand more Hajji Soleimanis and Muhandis's," she told CNN. "If the parliament doesn't vote to expel the Americans, it will see the true face of the Iraqi street," she added. Assifa Abbas is hoping for the end of the US presence in Iraq.
