Anderson Cooper Attacked, Punched In The Head By Pro-Mubarak Mob In Egypt

Anderson Cooper and his crew were attacked by supporters of Hosni Mubarak in Cairo on Wednesday. CNN's Steve Brusk tweeted that Cooper was punched in the head ten times.

The incident came as pro-Mubarak supporters attacked protesters calling for the Egyptian president to step down. Speaking on "American Morning" after the attack, Cooper said that he and his crew had been trying to go to a neutral zone between the two groups.

"We never got that far," he said. "We were set upon by pro-Mubarak supporters punching us in the head." Cooper said that he and the crew tried to escape, but that the crowd only grew: "the crowd kept growing, kept throwing punches, kicks...suddenly a young man would look at you and punch you in the face."

The entire situation is getting worse. It's one thing to want a Pharoah to GO, but beating up innocent people who have nothing to do with the matter is totally barbaric. I hope Anderson packs his stuff and gets on the next plane back to CNN!

"I" just know that Cooper and his crew are giving thanks that they were not in America because they could be like the Arizona congresslady if not the 9 year old innocent child from more than one person upset with the government. lol (smile)
