On Friday February 11, the day Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped
down, CBS correspondent Lara Logan was covering the jubilation in Tahrir
Square for a "60 Minutes" story when she and her team and their
security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration.
It was a mob of more than 200 people whipped into frenzy.
In the crush of the mob, she was separated from her crew. She
was surrounded and suffered a brutal attack 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.
This is truly disgusting and devastating when you do something like this to an innocent woman or ANY woman in such a pivotal time in their country's history. We send our best to Ms. Lara Logan, she is in everyone's prayers for a successful recovery.
