Correspondent Sexually Assaulted in Cairo



Lara Logan
(Cairo, Egypt) Last Friday when Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak stepped down, CBS correspondent Lara Logan reportedly was surrounded and assaulted in Cairo's Tahrir Square by 200 frenzied demonstrators.

In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew.

She was surrounded and suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assault and beating before being saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers.

She reconnected with the CBS team, returned to her hotel and returned to the United States on the first flight the next morning. She is currently in the hospital recovering.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
