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.

Hi,

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

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.
