Logan Expected to be Released from the Hospital Today


The Daily Beast's Howard Kurtz reports of which CBS correspondent Lara Logan, which is regaining out of being sexually assaulted inside Egypt last week, will get released at a New York hospital today. As stated by a Wall Street Journal source, Logan, 39, who's mother to two young kids, wasn't raped.

This correspondent's separation through her TV crew also assault lasted between 20 to 30 minutes, reports the Journal, citing an individual familiar together with that matter. This source added which it was in fact "not a rape."

At the least 140 reporters since January 30 have got been injured or even killed while covering the Egypt protests, this New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists said, reports AFP. Anderson Cooper, Katie Couric and Christiane Amanpour have spoken to be surrounded and, in Cooper's case, "punched" by protesters.

The evening earlier which she was attacked, Logan spoke to The Politics blog of Esquire magazine. She was with her producer and her husband Joseph Burkett, and recounted her earlier trip that resulted in her team being taken by soldiers and marched at gunpoint to their hotel. "We were accused of being more than journalists," Logan reported. "Very frightening suggestions were being made, suggestions that could be very dangerous for us."

This following day soldiers detained her and also the crew in Cairo and interrogated them overnight, then advised all of them to leave Egypt. "We were detained by the Egyptian army," Logan told The Politics blog. "Arrested, detained, and interrogated. Blindfolded, handcuffed, taken at gunpoint, our driver beaten. It's the regime that arrested us." She added, "They kept us in stress positions -- they wouldn't allow myself put my head down. It had been through the night. We were pretty exhausted."

She added, "We were charged with being Israeli spies. We had been accused of being agents. We were accused for everything," she told Esquire, as she was boarding a plane to return to Egypt. But she was determined to return. A cozy desk job seriously isn't "in my lane," she said.
