Mourners carried the coffin of Iran's slain supreme leader through Karbala to the Holy Shrine of Imam Hossein. The shrine is the holiest site in the Iraqi city and ranks as the most sacred ground in Shiite Islam after Mecca and Medina. The procession reached the shrine after passing through Najaf.
Officials and supporters of Iran-backed militias joined the crowds that followed the coffin. Burial is scheduled for Thursday in Mashhad.
Karbala marks the site where Imam Hossein was killed in 680 AD. The six-day route has drawn large crowds at each stop.
