CBS News 60 Minutes correspondent Lara Logan is back in the hospital in Washington, D.C., due to years-long complications stemming from the brutal sexual assault she endured in Egypt while covering the Arab Spring in early 2011, several sources close to her—including one family friend who went on the record—confirmed to Breitbart News on Monday evening.
A 60 Minutes spokesman also confirmed to Breitbart News late Monday that Logan was in fact hospitalized.
“Very few people know how stoic and incredibly tough this lady is. In spite of everything she’s had to face in the last two years, people have no idea the physical suffering she has been enduring due to the brutal sexual assault she encountered in Egypt during the Arab Spring while reporting for 60 Minutes,” Ed Butowsky, a close friend and confidante of Lara and her family, told Breitbart News. “I’ve been in and around this business and people don’t understand how hard reporters work and how much time they put in. Lara, above all of it, has been doing it for four years since this brutal attack and suffering in every way, shape or form. Maybe it’s time for people to realize these people are human beings.”
“We were sorry to hear this morning that Lara was readmitted to the hospital,” the 60 Minutes spokesman added in an email. “We wish her a speedy recovery.”
Butowsky said that Logan has been going in and out of the hospital for the last few years since returning after the brutal attack in Egypt, all while continuing reporting from the most dangerous places on earth and raising her family. Logan has two children. Specifically, Butowsky said, she has been in the hospital at least four times this year alone.

Tough woman. I hope she recovers in every way, ASAP, as much as she can.
we know that muslims form these countries have been raping women in Sweden, UK, and the rest of Europe and yet the news channels keep sending good looking western women to these places where it is not safe.
I noticed that 60 mins or their news channel hardly covered this too. It means they are still in denial to the dangers of rape form these people or they think their agenda is more important than women getting raped by these people.
islam is the religion of satan and thus the most vile people on earth.
Praying for Lara’s speedy recovery God Bless
Where the hell is NOW or any other woman who spats out equality for women!!! I do NOT see them standing up against the brutal treatment that Muslim Men give to the women in Muslim controlled countries!
I will keep her in my prayers.
Did the subhuman reptile-brain savages ever face responsibility for their brutal actions?
(of course not)
Why? Good gosh, if you are an attractive woman, mother of two children, why on earth would you go someplace that is not only hostile to attractive young women, but doubly hostile to western attractive young women, and triply hostile to American, western, attractive young women?
This is crazy. I know some may think I am blaming the woman for the actions of the rapist, but that isn't it at all.
Because Lara spoke out against Radical Islam therefore liberal loons like NOW don’t give a damn about her..just like when Conservative women get attacked NOW doesn’t say a word about it..NOW isn’t about protecting women, they are about abortion and advocating their far left progressive agenda.
Maybe 60 minutes forced her.
Ah, yes! The wonderful arab spring! Such freedom, such joy, such a noble cause !
Filthy animals is the only way to describe the people who attacked her. Having worked in that region I can tell you that blonde hair incites something in some of these men. Scary....
You send a woman to cover a bunch of rioting, misogynistic animals, and then are shocked when she’s assaulted.
I’m sorry, I hope Lara recovers, but neither she, nor her management is very bright.
“She said the incident involved 200–300 men and lasted around 25 minutes. “

I’m surprised that she survived. Subhuman creatures.
imagine if she was assaulted by a right wing militia group from alabama. what would have happened is the same thing that happened with ted kopple and the hostage crisis, the everyday reporting would morph into its own show.
Subhuman - you are insulting chimps, gorillas, and baboons... Subamoeba is more like it...
Their goal is the utter demise of the West. You won’t hear a peep.
I can’t argue with that.
