[quote]ABC’s Bob Woodruff seriously injured in Iraq
Journalist, cameraman caught in bomb attack while embedded with military


News anchor Bob Woodruff poses for a photograph in ABC's "World News Tonight" studio in this Dec. 5, 2005, file photo, in New York.


ABC News co-anchor Bob Woodruff and a cameraman were seriously injured Sunday when the Iraqi Army vehicle they were traveling in was attacked and an improvised explosive device went off.

The two journalists were with U.S. and Iraqi troops near Taji, about 12 miles north of Baghdad, when the device went off, ABC News President David Westin said. Both suffered serious head injuries and underwent surgery at a U.S. military hospital in the area, the network said.

Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt were wearing body armor and helmets, but were standing up in the hatch of the Iraqi armored vehicle when the device went off. No one else was hurt in the explosion, the network said.
