...Foggo, the widening investigation into the outgoing number three at the Central Intelligence Agency has veered far from home. The ongoing inquiry, a law enforcement official and other sources tell TIME, has also reached into the CIA offices abroad.

Flights from the new Kurdistan Airlines and other carriers arrive directly from Istanbul, Frankfurt, Dubai and Beirut. Austrian Airlines officials have agreed the company will be the first European airline to fly to Arbil, with three Vienna flights a week scheduled to start sometime this year. That's just the start. A sprawling $200 million airport is being built on the existing grounds...
