News 24 have just broken that ABC's Bob Woodruff and his cameraman have been left "seriously injured" after an attack in Iraq. Although they went on to say they were embedded with the American army.
ABC are now saying "WORLD NEWS TONIGHT CO-ANCHOR BOB WOODRUFF AND HIS CAMERAMAN ARE INJURED IN IRAQ BY AN IMPROVISED EXPLOSIVE DEVICE".
Bob Woodruff and his cameraman Doug Vogt were injured in an IED attack near Taji, Iraq today. They were embedded with the 4th Infantry Division, traveling with an Iraqi Army unit in an Iraqi mechanized vehicle.
IIRC, this is the first time a western journalist has been left badly injued in Iraq since John Simpson and the late Terry Lloyd?

Thought I'd put this here rather than start a new thread.
ABC's World News Tonight has got a new desk. Seems to be circular. I think it was made from wood, and it had the ABC News logo on it. Also there was a high shot of the studio at the end of last nights programme with a slow pan of the studio. Could they possibly have got a new toy? (ie. a jib!)
