A few hundred members of Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), the country's state-sanctioned paramilitary umbrella organization, gathered in Baghdad on Tuesday for a symbolic funeral of four PMF fighters killed by a U.S. air raid the previous day.

Waving Iraqi and PMF flags, fighters stood in ranks as the crowd waited for the arrival of coffins draped in Iraqi flags and then carried through the crowd.

On Monday, the Iraqi government condemned the U.S. air raid against Iran-aligned fighters along its border with Syria and said it would "study all legal options" to prevent such action, which it called a violation of Iraqi sovereignty, of being repeated.

It was a rare criticism of U.S. action by the government of Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, who is seen as friendly to the United States and has tried to check the power of Iran-aligned militias.
