IFP- Newspapers today covered the huge Arbaeen processions where 20 millions of pilgrims flocked to the Iraqi holy city of Karbala to mark the fortieth day after Imam Hussein’s martyrdom.

They also covered the appointment of two new army commanders by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei. The Leader gave Brigadier General Ahmad Reza Pourdastan the job of Army second-in-command, and also appointed Brigadier General Kiomars Heidari as commander of the Army Ground Force.

Another top story was the cancellation of Iranian Parliament Vice-Speaker Ali Motahari’s scheduled speech in northeastern city of Mashhad, and the criticisms raised against Interior Minister.
