New York (AP) - CBS News correspondent Lara Logan was recovering in a U.S. hospital Tuesday from a sexual attack and beating she suffered while reporting on the tumultuous events in Cairo.

Logan was in the city's Tahrir Square on Friday after Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak stepped down when she, her team and their security were surrounded by a dangerous element amidst the celebration, CBS said in a statement Tuesday.

Seperated from her crew in the crush of the violent pack, she suffered a brutal and sustained sexual assualt and beating. She was saved by a group of women and an estimated 20 Egyptian soldiers.

She reconnected with the CBS team and returned to the U. S. on Saturday.

...I was in the city of Industry when all that was going on...bastards raised hell about the treatment they supposedly received, but then acted like a bunch of gorillas on a rampage....no wonder the LAPD treats them like they do...even to this day...brought on by their own actions

Has to make one wonder whether their ilk did not DESERVE their dictator.

Too late to second-guess now.

Beatings and rapes can happen anywhere, but we all know women in that part of the world are treated as second class citizens.

It hurts to see this happen to Lara Logan. She is a very classy lady in my opinion.

Its a sad story all right.

Animals. Filthy animals that could do that to a human.

How cana penis even work in the presence of so much torment?

I just don't understand rape, or victimizing in general.

Sad.
