cbs reporter lara logan

Lara Logan, a correspondent for TV program "60 minutes" was reportedly sexually assaulted several times by thugs shouting "Jew! Jew!" as she was reporting on the mayhemic fall of president Hosni Mubarak in the main square of Cairo on Friday, sources have revealed yesterday.

The TV crew with Logan, who is also the network's chief foreign correspondent, had its cameras rolling moments before she was dragged off -- and caught her on tape looking tense and trying to head away from a crowd of men behind her in Tahrir Square. 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 hospital recovering from the ordeal sources say and there will be no further correspondance at this time out of respect for her family.
