Lara Logan, the CBS news reporter, has been hospitalized again due to continued health problems stemming from a brutal sexual assault she faced in Egypt, back in 2011.
The 43- year old reporter, who had also been hospitalized in February, was recently admitted to a Washington, DC-area hospital due to digestive disease diverticulitis and internal bleeding, the New York Post reported.
According to CBS source, the '60 Minutes' correspondent had continued to suffer since the attack on her in Egypt, and needed to make serious decision regarding a surgery as she had continued to pursue the work she loved.
Logan was beaten up and sexually abused by a group of men in Cairo, where she was reporting the toppling of then-President Hosni Mubarak, and was forcefully separated from her producer and bodyguard.
In an interview with Scott Pelley, Logan revealed that she was sure she would have died a torturous death at the time when her attackers raped her with hands for an extended period of time, until a woman saved her.
Ed Butowsky, a close friend of Logan said that people had no idea of the physical pain she had been enduring since 4 years, and on top of that, she had continued to report from the most dangerous places in the world, while raising her two children with her husband.
A CBS spokesman said that they were sorry to learn that Logan had been readmitted to the hospital and wished her a speedy recovery.
