Swedish Radio News reports that direct air flights from Sweden to Iraqi
Kurdistan are about to resume following a three month break.
Traffic was suspended in August, after the pilots on a Swedish airliner reported
being shot at with a rocket over Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack has never
been confirmed, and now the civilian aviation authorities say they believe if
there was a rocket fired it was an isolated incident.
Two airlines have applied for permission to resume flights to Iraqi Kurdistan.
Some 70,000 Swedes have their roots in the area.
