8 Muslim Children, 1 Mother Perish in New York City Fire; 17 Injured

A funeral was held on Thursday for victims of a fire that claimed the lives of nine immigrants from Mali -- eight of whom were children. The fire also injured 19 others, including a 7-year-old girl in critical condition.

Hundreds of Muslims prayed the janazah (funeral) prayer over the bodies, and many others joined the services, including the mayor of New York City.

Here are pictures from the funeral.
