PARIS (AP) — A correspondent for France 24 TV was "savagely attacked" near Cairo's Tahrir Square after being seized by a crowd, the network said Saturday. It was the latest case of violence against women at the epicenter of Egypt's restive protests.

The news channel said in a statement that Sonia Dridi was attacked around 10:30 p.m. Friday after a live broadcast on a protest at the square and was later rescued by a colleague and other witnesses. France 24 did not give further details about the attack, but it said its employees were safe and sound, though "extremely shocked," and that it will file suit against unspecified assailants.

"extremely shocked" regarding a not-so shocking event.

[3Fingas]

Why do these news agencies send women to cover these 7th Century throw-backs? It is very irresponsible.

Shocked? Where have they been? This is a daily occurrence over there.

[PGR88]

Western female reporter, at night, reporting on rioting Muslims in Egypt. The words "red meat" and wolves come to mind

[Pox]

and that it will file suit against unspecified assailants

Yeah, that's going to make the scumbags think twice next time. That statement is a laughable "threat" from a coward.

[longfellow]

Hey it’s not like here where there is a real war on wench—er woman.

[rovenstinez]

I’m sure that the real reason this is all happening, is because of George W. Bush. Everything that happens bad, I mean every where you turn, it is Bush’s fault.

After Lara Logan was attacked, why do they continue to put women in the midst of these savages? I guess it just shows their lack of intelligence or maybe they just don’t care.

Here's a picture of the journalist in question:

ARAB SPRINGTIME FOR EGYPT
Tune: "Springtime for Hitler"

Terrorists were having trouble
What a sad, sad error
Needed an enabler
To restore their reign of terror

Where oh where was he?
Where could that man be?
We looked around
And then we found
Obama wants us free

It's Arab . . .
Springtime for Egypt and Libya
The Brotherhood is happy and gay
We did our big Benghazi job
We're glad, glad as a Nazi mob

Springtime for Egypt and Libya
Winter for Christians and Jews
Springtime for Egypt and Libya
Come on, Muslims, get over your blues . . .

Mobs are now a Cairo factor
Copts will need a chiropractor . . .

Don't be stupid, don't you be odd
Come and join the Muslim jihad . . .

It's Arab . . .
Springtime for Egypt and Libya
Burkas will work as a rule
Bombs blowing up a crowd again
Jihad is proud and loud again

Springtime for Egypt and Libya
Springing up riots galore
Springtime for Egypt and Libya
Means that soon we'll be blowin'
We've got to be blowin'
You know we'll be blowing up more!

What did she expect from the “savages” that Pamella Gellar has been speaking about. There is no room for muzzies in a civilized world.

[GeronL]

It will sue the crowd? lol

[ConservativeStatement]

One of those personal experiences but one day in a restaurant two liberal women seated near me, talking, days after the Egypt uprising. One said “The only way America will be better is when we get rid of the old mindset and have the young minds run the nation, like what happened in Egypt.” Our awful way of life.

[LongWayHome]

The West continues to send women to their death & rape in situations like this because the West believes in the theroy of non-discrmination & equality more than they do reality. To the modern West all cultures & all people are the same. Simple as that.

Thanks ConservativeStatement.

[Hardraade]

Just normal muslim behaviour.

Ask the US president.

[ConservativeStatement]

Double secret probation.

[Right Wing Assault]

Yeah, that's going to make the scumbags think twice next time.

If they were smart, they would sue them for their goats and sheep. Hit them where their, er, hearts are. They win just ONE of THOSE suits and these guys will think twice next time!

Living a fantasy. The truth is too revolting for them - that the good Christian men of Western Civilization are the only thing protecting women from such treatment.

Notice how the Islam/Obama apologist “AP” deliberately omits “female” from the headline.
