Lara Logan was the reporter who was attcked in Tahrir Square by a mob 200, was sexually assulted, and saved by 20 women and the Eygptian police. Logan is known to be in dangerous situations like this, including when she was in a Humvee in Iraq and a missel hit her car and the soilder next to her lost a leg. In Eygpt though, it is getting dangerous for she was like Anderson Cooper, who too in Eygpt got attacked. Many people didn't even know of the situation that occured a week earlier where she and her crew were blinfolded and held at gunpoint. Reporters are being attacked so much in Eygpt, it's considered dangerous to try. The point in silencing a reporter though is to intimidate others, to create fear. To hide what's really happening.
