(AFP-Times of Israel) Iraqis who have demonstrated for months against a government they see as beholden to Iran broke into song and dance Friday after a U.S. strike killed top Iranian commander Gen. Qasem Soleimani, an AFP photographer said. "This is God's revenge for the blood of those killed," said a demonstrator in Baghdad's Tahrir Square, after 460 people were killed by Iran-backed security forces. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo posted a video on Twitter Thursday night of "Iraqis dancing in the street for freedom; thankful that General Soleimani is no more."
