Iraq Searches Syria-Bound Plane from Iran
[An Nahar] Iraq stopped and searched a Syria-bound cargo plane from Iran for weapons for the second time in a month on Sunday, but allowed it to continue as no banned items were found, an official said.The United States has been pressuring Storied Baghdad ...located along the Tigris River, founded in the 8th century, home of the Abbasid Caliphate... to ensure all Iranian aircraft flying through its airspace are ordered to land and checked for weapons, but Iraq has said it will only stop planes when it has doubts about the cargo being transported. "We ordered an Iranian cargo plane traveling to Syria to land at Storied Baghdad International Airport for inspection," Nasser Bandar, the head of Iraq's civil aviation authority, told Agence La Belle France Presse.
