TOP CBS foreign correspondent Lara Logan suffered a "brutal" sexual assault at the hands of a mob in Egypt while covering the downfall of president Hosni Mubarak, her US network says.

The incident involving Lara Logan took place on Cairo's central Tahrir Square last Friday, the day Mubarak stepped down, CBS said.

"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."

The CBC mentions the story in the Arts and Entertainment section.....,

Truly thuggery knows no race or creed...disgusting. I really hope they don't claim to be Muslims.

Makes me utterly sick.

[ShepherdsDog]

I see the CBC has moved the story now.

[SprCForr]

Come back

Ummm, yeah...fuck that shit.

[Freakinoldguy]

Fucking disgusting pigs.

Most reporters know they stand a chance of being killed or hurt covering these types of stories but I don't think I've ever heard of one being gang raped by a group of supposedly peace loving protestors.

First the museums and now this. Yet we're supposed to believe that all these people wanted was freedom from Mubarek. With groups like this running amok it certainly doesn't bode well for the future of this country.

I would guess any country in the middle of an uprising might tend to draw out those persons of questionable morality. And where was her security?

They're with her, but it takes a lot of people to hold off a mob of 200 men.

What would that prove anyway? The women's liberation movement in Egypt was started by a Muslim woman.

[GreenTiger]

Sickening, but I applaud all of those who came to her aid.

Me too, in the mob mentality too often things like this are ignored, she could hav ebeen beaten to death. Now her security while not expecting something like this should have been armed, a few shots and a dash for safety.....

[SprCForr]

Exactly so GT.

Logan announced today that she'll soon be returning to work. An impressively brave woman.
