Description Stéphane Aulery 2014-04-14 22:04:35 UTC 
gweather includes several locations in Iraq, but weather reports for 
each are unavailable.  There is now weather reporting from BIAP, found
on sites such as weather.com, so having the weather reports fixed would
be great.

gweather uses weather.noaa.gov which doesn't seem to list BIAP.

Is it possible to have this country?

It might be that weather.noaa.gov does not list BIAP because of US export restrictions / embargoes (because it's a US government service).

Unfortunately I don't know of any other METAR source with a free license that we can use.
