Mob beat journalist Lara Logan with flagpoles and fists
South African-born Logan, her crew and a security detail appear to have been surrounded near a tent city that had sprung up in the square. Logan became separated from her crew and security. One source said soldiers went in to rescue them, but Logan fell as they tried to escape. Sources in the US said the attack went on for up to 30 minutes. Her clothes were torn off and the crowd hit her and beat her with poles. Shouts of "Israeli" enraged the crowd even more.

Logan was finally rescued by about 20 soldiers and women in the square and taken to her hotel.
