| Qassem Soleimani's dead body flies coach back to Iran |

| LOL! [NY Post] The remains of Qassem Soleimani, the Iranian military commander killed in a US drone strike, were apparently placed in a cardboard box and flown out of Iraq across rows of passenger seats, new video shows. The recording shot aboard a Mahan Air flight and posted on Twitter appears to show Soleimani’s coffin and those of others killed in the attack on an Airbus from Mashhad to Mehrabad Airport in Tehran — as a tribute video plays on one of the plane’s screens. Babak Taghvaee, who describes himself as a defense analyst and freelance writer, posted the video Sunday on Twitter. Soleimani’s coffin was laid across rows of passenger seats instead of transported in the cargo hold. The coffins bear the images of Soleimani, the leader of the elite Quds Force, and Abu-Mahdi Al-Muhandis, the deputy head of the Popular Mobilization Forces, an Iranian-supported militia group in Iraq. |

| #9 If I keep reading this name as Queen Salami does that make me disrespectful? No. You're just confusing him with IRGC CiC Maj Gen Salami, who, for all we know, might actually self identify as a Queen. |

| #7 “It was so distressing. Every time the plane hit an air pocket, we could hear his hand bouncing around in that great big box, and the ring kept clicking against the side — click, click, click. It was like it was trying to get out.” |
