Sri Lankan Mosque Holds Condolence For Iranian Crash Victims
Dr. Alireza Delkhosh (C), the Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is seen performing the Islamic ritual DU'A and Salawath at a condolence program at Kollupitiya Jumu'ah Mosque in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on May 22, 2024. On Sunday, May 19, 2024, a helicopter carrying Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and several other high-ranking officials is crashing in a mountainous area near the Iran-Azerbaijan border, killing all nine people on board. The helicopter, identified as a Bell 212 model, is carrying President Raisi, Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, the governor of East Azerbaijan province, Malek Rahmati, and Tabriz's Friday prayer leader, Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Al-e Hashem, along with five crew members. They are returning from the inauguration of the Qiz-Qalasi Dam, a joint hydroelectric power project with Azerbaijan, when the crash occurs. (Photo by Akila Jayawardena/NurPhoto)
