Anderson Cooper

Attacked in Egypt



Anderson Cooper Attacked
Cooper claims he and his team were trying to get to a spot in between the two sides of protesters in Tahrir Square -- when they were attacked.

Cooper claims the mob tried to break his team's camera -- because they didn't want to be on film --  when the violence escalated and men began to punch members of the news crew in the head.

Sometimes you honestly need to just stay in NYC and go mountain biking on the streets of Manhattan with your boyfriend - it's safer.

What do you expect when you are in a country that is in the middle of an uprising!! Makes sense that things will turn violent!!!

Obviously, CNN has affiliate correspondents in Egypt who wouldn't have so blatantly drawn attention to themselves. Just as obviously, the visually NOT Egyptian Cooper wanted the free "face-time" and was sent packing. Not so surprising, is it.

They have tried very hard to keep violence out of it. BUT today their LEADER... YES, Their Leader set this up so his followers and those he paid (which are small in comparison) come in with rocks, bricks, knives and fire bombs. NOW, WHO IS WRONG HERE. That leader needs to listen to his people... he needs to step down NOW. Today my prayers go with the people of Egypt.

I'm watching CNN right now. Anderson is safely off the street and you wouldn't believe the amount of molitov ****tails people are throwing at eachother. It's getting horrible now as night sets it. This is just crazy and I pray that the United States doesn't get involved anymore than Obamas statement yesterday. We don't need to be hated in that region anymore than we are. If I were Israel I would have my finger on the panic button about now.

I am amazed by the idiocy on this board. Cooper is a reporter. Its his job to be where the news is and this is it. How was he complaining? He was just telling what happened. More Americans have been killed in Chicago this year than in the middle east. If I walk down the street in Chicago and someone busts a cap in my ass,am I complaining or just telling what happened?

Sorry, no sympathy here for anyone who would willingly put themselves in the middle of an ultra-violent situation in a foreign country. I can't believe that Anderson doesn't have enough pull at CNN to refuse to go to Egypt. What a dumbass.

A Danish reporter was also attacked earlier today. It seems to be Mubarak-supporters. Let´s hope the reporters are allowed to continue their important job telling the world about a very corrupt system.

What a Puss. "your instinct is to punch back" come on Cooper you didn't have a handbag with you so how could you punch back. Believe it or not people are really tired of your whining and cpmplaining. Go back to Greenwich Village and hang with your girls I mean boys or whatever they are

You people on this site have no idea what is happening here, you speak as if you have no common sense. This will be the greatest event in our history if the people of Egypt should receive their reform and democracy. Anderson Cooper is recording probably the greatest story in his career and you make these stupid dumb remarks. People are dying right now in those streets because they want democracy. My prayers.

I believe him...I guess. But, it seems like the pro-Mubarak side would be happy with Americans since the U.S. supported Mubarak during his entire regime, not to mention the Jimmy Carter, Camp David agreement which placed Egypt on equal footing with Israel from the U. S. diplomatic perspective, plus billions of dollars in U. S. aid for many years. Is he sure it was Mubarak supporters who attacked them???
