Mourners bid farewell to Ayatollah Khamenei in Qom Tens of thousands of people took to the streets on Tuesday in the Iranian holy city of Qom during a fourth day of funeral proceedings for the late supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The remains of Khamenei, who was killed in late February on the first day of the US-Israeli war against Iran, are lying in state at the Jamkaran Mosque in Qom, a holy city that houses Shia Islam's most influential seminaries and shrines. Aerial footage broadcast by state television showed the streets of Qom -- home to about 1.5 million people -- packed with mourners.
