BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq's prime minister has ordered an investigation into how a bear escaped from its crate aboard an Iraqi aircraft as it was due to depart from Dubai airport, leaving passengers disgruntled over the delay and causing a stir on social media. Iraqi Airways said Saturday it wasn't to blame for the bear's escape and that the aircraft's crew worked with authorities in the United Arab Emirates which dispatched specialists to sedate the animal and remove it from the plane. A video clip circulating on social media showed the plane's captain apologizing to passengers for Friday's takeoff delay because of the bear's escape from its crate in the cargo hold.
