Bahrain's Gulf Air halts flights to Iraq’s Baghdad and Najaf

Bahrain's Gulf Air suspended flights to and from Iraq's Baghdad and Najaf cities on Friday until further notice due to security issues.

The company's announcement on Twitter came after a U.S. airstrike killed Qassem Soleimani, an architect of Iran's spreading military influence in the Middle East, in Baghdad.
