Chartered plane crashed near Baghdad

At least 32 people are feared dead and one seriously injured after a chartered plane crashed while landing at an airport near Baghdad. 2 other people that were on board are still unaccounted for.

Reports said there were 29 Turks and one American on board.

There were also 5 crew members including 3 from Moldova, one from Ukraine and one Russian who has been confirmed dead.

It had taken off from an airport in Turkey's Southern city of Adana early Tuesday morning.
