Cooper Attacked Again While ABC News Crew Threatened With ‘Beheading’

Attacks on foreign journalists continue to intensify in Egypt. Yesterday, Anderson Cooper was beaten in the head and a Fox News crew had to be hospitalized. Today, Cooper suffered another attack, while an ABC news crew was threatened with “beheading” by a mob which included an attacker in a police uniform.
Cooper reported his second ordeal via Twitter today:
An ABC News crew suffered a similar attack on its vehicle. That crew’s attackers even went as far as to threaten to cut the journalists’ heads off:
A group of angry Egyptian men carjacked an ABC News crew and threatened to behead them today in the latest and most menacing attack on foreign reporters trying to cover the anti-government uprising.
Producer Brian Hartman, cameraman Akram Abi-hanna and two other ABC News employees were surrounded on a crowded road that leads from Cairo‘s airport to the city’s downtown area.
While ABC News and other press agencies had been taking precautions to avoid volatile situations, the road to the airport had been a secure route until today. One of their two vehicles was carrying cameras and transmission equipment strapped to the roof, indicating they were foreign journalists.
Hartman says it was only through the appeal of Abi-hanna, who is Lebanese and a veteran ABC cameraman, that they were saved from being killed or severely beaten.
“We thought we were goners,” Hartman said later. “We absolutely thought we were doomed.”
According to Hartman’s Twitter account, one of his attackers was wearing a police uniform:
Hartman went on to explain the attack in-depth:
“Then they directed our driver to take us down a dark, narrow alleyway. A man sitting next to me with a cigarette dropping ashes on my shoulder…. No way, we can’t go down this alley, I told our driver, and he turned off the car.”
The two vehicles were quickly engulfed by men who poured out of the alley. “It gradually escalated, the tension and anger in their voice…. It was pretty clear we were in a threatening situation. People were making gestures and putting their fingers under my throat” and making a slitting motion, he said.
“A man in police uniform came up to me and said, ‘So help me God…. I am going to cut off your head,’” Hartman recalled.
One man was yelling, “Cut their necks now, cut their necks now,” and another pointed an imaginary machine gun at Hartman and made shooting noises.
“I couldn’t see outside the windows except angry faces and the gestures. I thought we were absolutely doomed,” Hartman said.
They were saved, he said, when Abi-hanna “lunged forward and gave a great big bear hug” to a man who appeared to be an elder of the neighborhood. “He gave him a kiss on each cheek and told the man referring to me, ‘He is my guest. He is your guest in this country. Egyptian people are better than this.”
Hartman said the cameraman appealed to the “renowned generosity of the Egyptian people.”
Abi-hanna’s words “seemed to calm the tensions down” enough for them to get the cars in gear and escape, despite the efforts of some to stop them. [Emphasis added]
Meanwhile, Time Magazine reports Lara Logan, chief foreign affairs correspondent for CBS News, has been detained by Egyptian police outside Cairo’s Israeli embassy.

Posted on February 3, 2011 at 4:21pmNow the progs are seeing on a large scale that islam is not a religion of peace. islam only destroys everything then builds a mosque on rubble. Like the Ground Zero mosque. Like the mosque in Cordoba. Like the mosque in Jerusalem that sits upon a Christian Church which sits upon The Second Temple (the remnants are called The Western or Wailing Wall) Read the koran, educate yourselves. The koran is nothing but contradictions in bizarre writings. If page 35 says to be a peaceful people and page 322 says to kill infidels…well then, you must kill infidels and forget about the peace bit. You see, all subsequent pages supersede the previous pages as if they were never written. The latter verses rule over the previous verses. That is why some people can find the peace part and ignore the killing parts. They want to be “good muslims” and probably want to be good people. But, they are wrong. If you are a muslim, you do not have that choice. The koran is the only “religion” book that was written in real time. The Old Testament and The New Testament were written over hundreds of years.
Get out of Egypt while you can. There is a strong possibility some of them will not come home alive. The question will be how can they blame Palin, Beck and The Tea Party?

Ask a muslim what it says and they will tell you, that is for allah to know. The 3 letters are Hebrew. They loosely translate to “This is not to be believed” or “This is not true”. That’s right, the Rabbi that was ordered to transcribe the words of a murdering, pedophile, rapist, illiterate, insane MAN, got the final laugh by inscribing those 3 words for the world to see. Although the Rabbi could not have known this ruse of a “religion” would be around this long.

One hope for the West and peace loving people in the Middle East is to learn about the Pre-Abrahamic history which has just recently been available due to advances in carbon dating of archeology and artifacts. Also how Islam is reconstituted pagan worship under the guise of a monotheistic religion. All this is made clear in this historic interview on Israel National Radio:

He’s a journalist, trying to bring you news so you can write about whats going on on The Blaze.
Journalists go where TV news couch potatoes dont go — just like soldiers go in life threatening situations.
SHAME ON YOU.

Report Post »I can’t Imagine the left freaking out, imagine, your a backwater fool never looking beyond your nose at the world and one night waking up suddenly in the middle of the night and your favourite dog old coop has just been shot. It would be a rude awakening for the left. “Holy CRAP IT’S NOT SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS OVER THERE…”

Posted on February 4, 2011 at 1:21amTHIS my friends is how Muslims behave. All this other krap about tolerance, love and kindness is a joke. They have never acted differently, and they never will. Why is that so hard to accept? Why is that even offensive? If that is what you are, then that is what you are.

Report Post »The truth is the first victim in any confrontation. The protesters do not know who to trust, even amongst their own kind. Hell, we know more about what is going on than they do. Rumor is rampant. Is that guy over there with the camera a journalist or an Interior Ministry thug? It is likely that the Interior Ministry may hire out thugs with cameras to take photos of protesters “for later.” The reporters I have heard report on being detained, etc all relate that they are questioned about who they are and are forced to give their ID. These people are scared and do not know who to trust. I believe that this was a spontaneous protest, but now the media and political groups are trying to use them for their own purposes.
AC complains the military did nothing. Boo hoo. It is not their job to protect him or any other journalist, especially when they do stupid things.

Posted on February 4, 2011 at 4:12amAZDEBI, very good points, the people in the square represent a very small percentage of the population and we don’t have a clue what the majority of Egyptians want. They probably just want peace, to be left alone and to get back to work so they can feed their families. But I don’t really know for sure.

Posted on February 4, 2011 at 9:02amAll we hear from the MEDIA is that all of these attackers are PRO Mubarak. That the violence was all started by them also.
Funny I have been watching this since day one and you cannot tell one side from the other. Looks like to me it is just Muslims beating up Muslims. How the hell do THEY know who they are beating and whom is even in THEIR crowds!!!
It even looked like on the edges men were free to move from one side to the other!!!
Could all of these MEDIA attacks been COVERT Ops by the MUSLIM Brotherhood to MAKE Mubarak look bad???? Could the attackers be JIHADIST who HATE Infidels???
Maybe that who was attacking the so-called PEACEFUL protestors yesterday too ??? One thing is for sure they ALL believe in STONING someone to death. Were are the usual Car Bombs or Suicide Bombers?? Oh that is just around the corner !!!!!

Posted on February 4, 2011 at 9:50amThe Religion of Pieces,
Why Why Why do we continue to allow Islam to flourish in our country, do we think it will be something different once it embeds itself deep enough in our society? Do we think it will be different when our government has allowed enough Muslims to mass migrate here and mass populate our country with their high birth rates?
Every bit of freedom and support you give to Islam to flourish in this country is once more piece of your Life, Liberty, and Pursuit of happiness you are throwing away forever!
Ban Islam in the USA NOW! How is a religion that teaches the murder of unbelievers allowed freedom here! You are giving them freedom to murder you!

Posted on February 4, 2011 at 1:45pmI don’t really care if they get beat up or killed. It would be their own doing.
You can get this story without having to be standing in the middle of the rioting crowd. The story is: there is unrest in Egypt and they want Mubarak out. None of the reports from amidst the rioting people have shed any additional light on that story. Having to broadcast from within the rioting crowd is pure sensationalism. The viewer could see the same thing with the crew stationed at a distance and just commenting on the scene. But it makes it oh so much more sensational when they are standing in the middle of it trying to shout over the screaming people around them.

Posted on February 5, 2011 at 9:51am@ BMartin1776… Nobama has no right to demand the Mubarak step down now or ever. That is a big reason why we are hated in the ME. Interference in other countries affairs. Besides… If he does step down, would it benefit the US to have the muslim brotherhood step in??? They gave birth to Al Queda, Obama (sorry… Osama), Zawahiri, KSM, and Hamas. Would it benefit the US and Israel to have those F16′s, tanks, and stinger missles now be given to Hamas and Al Qaeda? Think man, just stepping down isnt necessarily best. This plays out much like the Iranian Revolution. Interesting though, Carters second term??? Jimmy brought the peace accord that ends on Nobamas watch. Jimmy brought us the Iranian revolution, Nobama brought the Egyptian revolution. How closely tied these two pigs are.
