"The three Egyptians were traveling to Baghdad for medical care when the were caught up in the Fallujah fighting."



What medical care? according to most media reports medical care is virtually nonexistent and the hospitals are full of civilian casualties.

Yep, that's a (criminally) under-reported aspect of Saddam's Iraq.

There was medical care for the inner-circle Baathist and friends, but the rest of
the poor civilians went lacking.

That's why our nurses and medics are teaching the Iraqi MDs how to do real
medicine. The Iraqi MDs just didn't get decent training or equipment as long
as Saddam was building palaces.
