The original options did not include Iraq, so the correct answer should be updated to reflect the accurate location, which is Iraq. Since Iraq is not listed, the closest correction is to update the correct answer to reflect the actual burial place as Iraq, which is not among the options. Hence, the question options should be corrected to include Iraq, and the correct answer updated accordingly.
