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.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m not familiar with her work, but according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/stories\/2002\/12\/02\/broadcasts\/main531421.shtml\">her bio at CBS News<\/a>, she was the first journalist into Afghanistan after the 9-11 attacks and she was the only journalist from a US news organization in Baghdad on the eve of the US assault. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Logan received an Emmy Award, an Overseas Press Club Award and a Murrow Award for &#8220;Ramadi: On the Front Line,&#8221; a powerful 2006 report on American troops under fire in Ramadi, Iraq, a piece Logan and her producer shot themselves while embedded with a U.S. military unit. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We wish her the best.
