 ???? ????CBS went public with the incident only after it became clear that other media outlets were on to it, sources said. ????“A call came in from The Associated Press” seeking information, a TV-industry source said. “They knew she had been attacked, and they had details. CBS decided to get in front of the story.” ????Most network higher-ups didn’t even know how brutal the sexual assault was until a few minutes before the statement went out. ????The horrific incident came a week after Logan was temporarily detained by Egyptian police amid tension over foreign coverage of the country’s growing revolution. ????Before the attack, Logan — who is based in Washington, where she lives with her 2-year-old daughter and husband — had been set to return to the United States sometime over the weekend to tape a “60 Minutes” segment on Wael Ghonim. ????Ghonim, Google’s head of marketing in the Middle East, had been briefly kidnapped after helping to organize protesters. ????But after she was assaulted, Logan went back to her hotel, and within two hours was flown out of Cairo on a chartered network jet, sources said. ????She wasn’t taken to a hospital in Egypt because the network didn’t trust local security there, sources said. ????Logan was discharged from an undisclosed hospital Tuesday. She has vowed to return to work “within weeks.” ????Logan has been candidly discussing what happened to her. “She is going to be OK,” a friend told TMZ.com. ????Friends said Logan was “unbelievably strong” and resting at her home. ????Riots, bloodshed and even physical attacks have been part of Logan’s job for years, and colleagues said she relishes her role as being a seasoned reporter in the world’s worst war-torn areas. ????When the South African native was embedded with a U.S. Army unit on the Afghan border shortly after 9/11, the armored Humvee she was traveling in was attacked by an anti-tank missile. ????The inside of Logan’s mouth was torn and her face left swollen and bruised. But when the Army tried to ship her home, she balked. ????“I was just enraged,” she told The Washington Post in a 2008 interview. “I’d already been blown up. I said, ‘I’ll just put an ice pack on.’ There was no way I was going to leave, no way in hell.” ???? |
