Iraqi Fighter Jet Drops Bomb Over Baghdad, Kills 12 People
 "Oops. Our bad" An Iraqi Russian-made fighter jet accidentally dropped a bomb over a Baghdad neighborhood on Monday, killing at least 12 people on the ground, Iraqi officials said. The plane ‐ one of several Sukhois used by Iraq in the fight against the Islamic State group ‐ was returning to base when the accident happened. Military spokesman, Brig. Gen. Saad Maan Ibrahim, told The Associated Press that a technical failure caused the Sukhoi jet to malfunction and drop the bomb, which hit a number of houses in the Iraqi capital's eastern neighborhood of New Baghdad.
