Lara Logan Gives a Powerful Interview on 60 Minutes

War correspondent and recent addition to the 60 Minutes family Lara Logan gave an emotionally powerful interview on 60 Minutes about her recent sexual assault in Egypt. Logan was reporting on the ousting of Egyptian President Mubarak when the celebrating mob turned ugly. When the camera batteries went out unexpectedly, the mob attacked her and pulled her away from the rest of the staff and security. The story is one of gruesome horrors committed, and a strong will to live.

To say Logan was assaulted is an understatement. She was brutalized nearly to death, both physically and sexually. It happened right there in the streets during what started out as a celebration of freedom. The 60 Minutes crew were making their way through the mob to find safe place to film the chaos. It was an interpreter that reportedly alerted the security guard to the threats on Logan.
