Mass funeral held in Najaf for protesters killed in Baghdad

Iraqi mourners attended a mass funeral at a cemetery in the central Iraqi city of Najaf for supporters of the Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr who were killed during clashes in Baghdad's Green Zone. 

Najaf, the site of the burial place of Prophet Muhammad's son-in-law and cousin Imam Ali, is one of the most important religious sites for Shias.
