Dubai, United Arab Emirates:
Three airlines from the United Arab Emirates are cancelling flights to Baghdad after a flight from the Mideast's busiest airport in Dubai came under fire as it landed in the Iraqi capital Monday night.
Dubai government-backed discount carrier FlyDubai confirmed Tuesday that it was the airline involved in the shooting. It says small-arms fire damaged the plane's fuselage and that no passengers needed medical attention at the airport.
It cancelled its only flight to Baghdad on Tuesday.
Dubai-based Emirates and Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways separately said they are suspending flights to Iraq until further notice.
