CNN Journos Attacked in Cairo on 9/11

Several CNN journos, as well as American public television producer Dina Amer, were attacked over the weekend by angry crowds protesting outside the Israeli embassy in Cairo. Disturbingly, the trouble began when an old woman pointed to Amer and accused her of being an Israeli spy. Things escalated immediately.

Mohamed Fadel Fahmy, a producer working for CNN, rushed to help escort Amer through the angry crowd. But suddenly the two reporters were pinned against the railing of an overpass by young men who were accusing Amer of being an Israeli spy.
