One Million Attend Al-Hakim’s Funeral

Al-Hakim was buried in the 1920 Revolution Square in Najaf, where he wanted to build a mosque after returning from exile in Iran. Since his whole body could not be found, due to the explosion, a symbolic coffin was buried, containing a pen, watch, and his wedding ring. His 15 bodyguards, who were among the 85 people killed in the assassination, were buried nearby.
