Yet KLM is pulling out...

I read last week that KLM wre pulling thier restored services to Iraq on security grounds. (Travel weekly I think.)

A quick google tuns up:

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is canceling the flights to Iraq in September that it had put in its reservations system because American authorities there told the airline that the security situation was too unstable.
The article goes on to note others are planning routes but KLM looked to be fastest off the blocks.
