CBS' Lara Logan Sexually Assaulted In Cairo

CBS reporter Lara Logan was sexually assaulted in Cairo during reporting on the fall of President Hosni Mubarak. CBS put out a statement:

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 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.
There will be no further comment from CBS News and Correspondent Logan and her family respectfully request privacy at this time.

Don't tell me being a journalist isn't dangerous. These people take a lot of well-deserved criticism for their reporting when it's not good, but they have to put their life on the line many times to do their best reporting in dangerous situations. It's sad to see them take harm doing their job well.
