Report: Israeli Drone Crashes Near Baghdad Airport Area
2014-08-29
[Ynet] The Hezbollah-affiliated "Al Miadin" news channel reported Thursday that an Israeli-made Hermes drone crashed near the Baghdad airport area.

The semi-official Fars news agency said that representatives of the US embassy in Iraq arrived on the scene and collected the pieces of the broken aircraft.
The Jerusalem Posts adds this is the third captured/crashed Israeli drone in a week, after Hamas claimed to have captured one and Iran shot down another near its Natanz nuclear facility.

#4  The question boils down to "Who controlled it?". Israel may have given a couple of drones to the Kurds, for all we know.

#2  It was actually the regularly scheduled El Al drone flight on stopover, on a flight for 'tourist' views of beautiful Isfahan and Tabriz.

Correction. Third time adherents of Islam---a faith where lying is a religious obligation, announce such.
