Reminds me of the CBS reporter in Egypt.
http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/TV/0...gan.interview/
Logan was covering the celebration that erupted in Tahrir Square following the resignation of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on February 11. She reported for about an hour without any trouble.
The atmosphere in the square was festive, like a party, she said, until all of a sudden, it wasn't. An Arabic-speaking member of Logan's crew abruptly said she needed to leave.
"I was told later that they were saying, 'Let's take her pants off,'" said Logan, 40, about men in the crowd around her.
At first, Logan said she tried to yell, but that her screams "turned them into a frenzy."
"I didn't even know that they were beating me with flagpoles and sticks and things because I couldn't even feel that ... the sexual assault was all I could feel -- was their hands raping me over and over and over again."
Logan felt men pull her hair, trying to rip away her scalp and tear at her limbs, her muscles. Her clothes were shredded.
The brutal attack went on for some 25 minutes, CBS reported.
At some point, she was dragged by the mob until it was stopped by a fence, near to where a group of Egyptian women was sitting.
Finally, some Egyptian soldiers fought their way through the crowd with batons, Logan said. One threw her over his back and took her to a tank. She was reunited with her crew and soldiers drove them back to their hotel, CBS said.
