Anderson Cooper in "Undisclosed Location" After Another Attack; Couric, Williams Flee

Journalists are fair game for thugs who don’t want the world to see what’s happening in Egypt.

Reports have surfaced that major network anchors and news producers have been subject to a campaign of intimidation, threats and violence by government-backed thugs to keep them from covering the uprising.

"But we can't do that because our cameras have been taken down through threats, through intimidations, through actual physical attacks, there are no live cameras that we can get access to right now."

Cooper's former CNN colleague, Christiane Amanpour, now at ABC News, found herself in a similar situation as she was fell upon and chased by pro-Mubarak demonstrators.

"An angry mob surrounded us and chased us into the car shouting that they hate America. They kicked in the car doors and broke our windshield as we drove away," she said.

CBS News' senior foreign correspondent Lara Logan and her crew were detained on Thursday outside Israel's embassy in Cairo by Egyptian military before being released today. She reported being threatened by Mubarak supporters and followed throughout the day while an ABC News producer said he was threatened with beheading. An NPR crew was also attacked.

Logan, along with CBS News anchor Katie Couric and NBC News anchor Brian Williams, have since returned to the U.S. out of safety concerns.
