THIS MUST STOP!!!!!!!
On Thursday, a group of Mubarak regime men carjacked an ANOTHER ABC News crew and threatened to BEHEAD them! WTF!!?!?!?!
Producer Brian Hartman said the actions of Lebanese cameraman Abi-hanna saved his crew from being beaten or killed.
Hartman tweeted:
“We thought we were goners. We absolutely thought we were doomed.├óΓé¼┬¥
“Just escaped after being carjacked at a checkpoint and driven to a compound where men surrounded the car and threatened to behead us.”
“The men released us only after our camera man appealed to the generous spirit of the Egyptian people, hugging and kissing an elder,”
Also today Lara Logan, chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News, has been detained along with her crew by Egyptian police outside Cairo’s Israeli embassy. Just yesterday Logan herself reported on the intensified efforts of the Mubarak regime to clamp down on foreign journalists covering the ongoing protests.
“For security reasons CBS will not be commenting on, or revealing in any way, CBS personnel activity, movement or location,”
Said CBS Spokesperson.
As always, our thoughts are with the brave men and women who are currently stuck in Cairo. Get back here to the US quickly AND safely!
