Iraq warplane accidentally bombs Baghdad, killing 7

BAGHDAD - A bomb fell from an Iraqi Sukhoi warplane and exploded in eastern Baghdad on Monday because of a "technical problem", killing at least seven people, security and medical officials said.

Iraq bought more than a dozen Sukhoi Su-25 warplanes from Russia in 2014

"One of the bombs became stuck because of a technical problem, and during its (the aircraft's) return to base it fell on three houses in Baghdad Jadida," security spokesman Brigadier General Saad Maan said in a statement.
