ABC News Anchor Is Badly Injured by Bomb in Iraq - New York Times

BAGHDAD, Iraq, Jan. 29 — One of the new co-anchors of ABC's evening newscast, Bob Woodruff, and a network cameraman suffered head wounds and other serious injuries on Sunday when a large roadside bomb struck the Iraqi military vehicle carrying them north of the capital.

The injuries represented the latest crisis for a network news division that has been reeling since Peter Jennings, the longtime anchor of "World News Tonight," died of lung cancer in August.

Mr. Woodruff was described as being in serious but stable condition after surgery at an American military hospital. It was not immediately clear when or whether he could resume his co-anchor duties.

Both are hopefully expected to return to the states tomorrow 1/31
