Khomeini Buried After Turbulent Funeral in Tehran
Thousands of Revolutionary Guards and civilians filled the Baheshte Zahra cemetery as Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini was laid to rest amid chants and mourning. A crane covered the grave with a metal container to deter souvenir seekers while guns roared in salute to the 86-year-old leader who transformed Iran into a militant Islamic state after the 1979 revolution.
