Doctors of Yarmouk hospital went on an indefinite strike, after Iraqi police commandos beat up one of the doctors, because they were taking time to treat one of their bleeding colleagues. Later that colleague was treated and saved. Doctors said that the strike will continue until Iraqi ministry of Defense takes action against Iraqi police commandos, according to police at the hospital. (AP Photo/Khalid Mohammed)
