"My Son Qassem Is Coming"
I arrived with my forces in Abu Gharib, a small town near Baghdad. As we moved through the area, I saw an elderly woman who looked anxious and afraid. I approached her and asked, “What’s wrong, Mother?”With sorrow in her voice, she replied, “Let them kill us if they must, but my son Qassem is coming!” She raised her hands, declaring, “Even if you drag us or kill us, my son Qassem is coming.”
We stayed with her for a few minutes, listening to her concerns. As we spoke, it became clear that by “my son Qassem,” she meant Hajj Qassem Soleimani. Hajj Soleimani had carved a place in the hearts of many, including Iraqis like this elderly woman, a Sunni sister from the village of Abu Gharib.
