BAGHDAD — A commercial jet carrying 154 passengers from Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, was struck by gunfire as it landed at Baghdad International Airport on Monday, adding to fears that Iraq’s airports are increasingly vulnerable to militant attacks.
At least one passenger, a girl, was lightly injured, according to airport officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the news media. A spokesman for the airline, Flydubai, however, denied that there were any injuries.
