Cargo jet hit by missile in Iraq

Just saw a news story with a still photo of a cargo jet that was
reported to have been hit by a SAM after takeoff from Baghdad Airport.
  There were flames from the left wing, outboard of the #1 engine.  It
was a twin, but hard to tell any details from the grainy photo.   It
was followed by what looked like file footage of a DHL A310 on the ramp
at Baghdad.  The photo could have been an A310, or possibly a A300 or
767-200.  The good news is that it landed safely -- that's a nice piece
of piloting.

Anyone have details?  Nothing on CNN or cnn.com or the sources in
Google News yet.
