I am also very cautious about news which is not in the MSM. In this case I asked the journalist some details. The source is reliable and known to the journalist for quite some time.

YI-ASA was the aircraft hit on August 24. It flew KUL to Baghdad.
I was told : cut the oil duct and hit the central fuel tank during final approach for landing from Abu Ghraib area, North West from Airport.

An Iraqi B767 reported fireballs thrown at him on August 26.

And I believe there was a third case of shooting.
