The 39-year-old CBS foreign correspondent said she was convinced she was going to die when the frenzied mob tore her away from her film crew and bodyguard in Cairo's Tahrir Square.
A group of at least 200 men beat her, pinched her and tore at her clothes in a 40-minute attack that only ended when a group of women came to her aid.
She told the New York Times: 'For an extended period of time, they raped me with their hands...What really struck me was how merciless they were.
'They really enjoyed my pain and suffering. It incited them to more violence.'
She revealed the terrifying details in an interview with the newspaper today, and is expected to speak about her attack at greater length in an appearance on 60 Minutes on Sunday.

'I thought, not only am I going to die here, but it's going to be just a torturous death that's going to go on forever and ever and ever.'

The attack lasted 40 minutes. She was only rescued when a group of local women brought 20 Egyptian soldiers to her aid.

Just two months after the attack, Ms Logan has already vowed to return to Afghanistan and other conflict zones, but said she has decided she will not return to Middle Eastern countries while widespread protests are ongoing. She told the Times: 'The very nature of what we do - communicating information - is what’s undoing these regimes. It makes us the enemy, whether we like it or not.'
More than a dozen foreign journalists have been kidnapped in Libya since the uprising began there.
Times journalist Lynsey Addario said she was groped and harassed by her Libyan captors, a story which Ms Logan said was a 'setback' to her own recovery.

I don't even have any hesitation or qualms about the hate that I feel toward such animals as those who attacked her.
This is outrageous!!!! I want to know what airport and who the TSA agents were that did this.....
Ah....democracy don’t you just love it. There just fighting for democracy, just ask anyone of these A holes we have in Washington.
Now it will be interesting to see if she is black-listed or called islamaphobe by the left. Will she be accused of exaggerating as a publicity stunt? How will the MSM deal with this? Will it be forgotten, “nothing to see here”?
IF our President had any xx (and IF pigs could fly) he would make an international incident out of this and protect our women.
But no! “That’s just what Muslims do” — it’s multi-culti, don’t you know?

Um, it was "regime" troops who saved her, so my bet is it was "protestors" who raped her. IOW, islamic scum...
“Raped me with their hands”. Isn’t that was Suzie Castillo was saying the other day about the TSA?
Too bad Lara Logan. You like the Muslims and the Obama Brotherhood along with all the other liberal lunatic ideas you subscribe to. 40 minutes huh? So when are you going on your next assignment to see your towel headed pals over there Lara?
Don’t waste your emotions. She doesn’t hate them and believes it was the regime that made them act this way, not the fact that she was an infidel.
Forty minutes and there isn't a single picture?
Yet these guys can "Tweet" nonstop? Really really?
Dear Miss Logan, Didn’t you do your research? Women over there are equal to farm animals. Infidel women are not worthy of respect.
Interesting. The State Department warns US travelers not to stick out and draw attention to themselves. Maybe she had to, if she wanted to do a TV report in that mob and not look like a slob...but perhaps she should have given it a second thought...or got to know the Muslim culture a bit better first (rather than after).
Exhibit 1A of why women shouldn’t be in combat either.
Of course, and if that doesn't work, they'll vilify her. Count on it.
CBS and their correspondents don't have any credibility anymore so please excuse me if I tend to believe that this young lady has grossly exaggerated "a" situation in order to advance her career..........
Has anybody checked YouBoob?
Yet GloriousReaderTM has said zilch about this.
She had better be glad she wasn’t caught up in a group of evil tea party guys!/s
If not for America and Israel they would be picking daisies and loving everybody. Such a peaceful religion.
Pray for America
