They dragged her away from the TV crew, tore her clothes, groped and beat her. She was later rescued by a group of women and around 20 Egyptian soldiers.
She opened up during her recovery,
"It was one thing after another. It was really hard. But if you can take that many knocks and stay on your feet, you know that you can take just about anything."
"The road is very long. There are just pieces of you left after that."
Logan's financial pundit Ed Butowsky stated,
"Very few people know how stoic and incredibly tough this lady is . . . No idea the physical suffering she has been enduring."
He reported that Logan's been in and out of the hospital since the attack. While still recovering, she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2012. She recalled,
"I was in a panic. For me, I knew what to do when I was on the ground in Tahrir Square, I had to stand up. When I was on my way home, I had to start rebuilding. When I saw my children, I had to live. Those things were very clear."
She was hospitalized in February 2015 as she suffered internal bleeding as a result of diverticulitis; a stress-related intestinal issue.
