CBS reporter Lara Logan hospitalized after sexual assault in Egypt
TweetNEW YORK (AP) — CBS News says correspondent Lara Logan is recovering in a U.S. hospital from an attack while reporting on the tumultuous events in Cairo last Friday.
Logan was in the city’s Tahrir Square after Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down when she and her team and their security were surrounded by a mob of more than 200 people, the network said in a statement on Tuesday.
Separated from her crew in the crush of the mob, she suffered what CBS called “a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating.” She was saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers.
She reconnected with the CBS team and returned to the U.S. on Saturday.
Logan, CBS News’ chief foreign affairs correspondent, is one of at least 140 correspondents who have been injured or killed since Jan. 30 while covering the unrest in Egypt, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.
CBS said it had no further comment on Logan’s attack.

This is horrible, awful news. It's time for men in the Muslim world to enter the 21st century and begin treating women as equal human beings and not chattel. Every last one of them should be sentenced to death by stoning.
They couldn't wait for the 700 virgins! This is just the begining......
HonestAbe: Are you suggesting that every Muslim man be stoned to death? That seems rather extreme considering this incident.
Jake, sorry if you misunderstood. I thought I implied the rapists....
@HonestAbe -
Don't be sorry...they have already been spoken for by Jesus but they just don't understand it yet...Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do...
Their time on Earth is short, burning in hell is an eternity.
Life on Earth is a gift...
A gift to you to make yourself the best you can be and prepare yourself for the end.
Your soul is the hard drive of your life and when your time is up, your memory banks will be scanned and you will be judged. If you have any fears of what your soul has memorized you still have time, but do it soon.
