AMMAN, Jordan, Aug 21, SPA -- The only two airlines with regular passenger service to Iraq suspended flights this week
because the Baghdad airport has been closed for "security

The flag carrier Royal Jordanian and the private
Virginia-based firm Air Serv stopped their service to the
Iraqi capital on Tuesday, officials told The Associated
Press on condition of anonymity.
