Lara Logan talks about her assault on '60 Minutes'Two months after being attacked and sexually assaulted by a mob in Tarir Square in Cairo, Lara Logan is breaking her silence about the attack. She’s spoken to Brian Stelter of The New York Times about the attack and will speak to her CBS News colleague Scott Pelley on ‘60 Minutes’ Sunday night.

Just from the details that have been teased out in the article and the ‘60′ preview, it sounded like it was a harrowing experience for Logan. She was separated from her producer, cameraman and bodyguards, her clothes were ripped off, and she was repeatedly groped and beaten for 40 minutes, until she was rescued by Egyptian soldiers and some civilians.

She gave this chilling statement to Pelley: “There was no doubt in my mind that I was in the process of dying. I thought not only am I going to die, but it’s going to be just a torturous death that’s going to go on forever.”
