Quotes: From article titled, "2 CBS Crew Members, U.S. Soldier Killed In Baghdad"
Two members of a CBS News team were killed and correspondent Kimberly Dozier was seriously injured Monday when the U.S. Army unit in which they were embedded was attacked.
A U.S. soldier was also killed in the attack, and six others were wounded.
The CBS journalists were on a patrol with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, when their convoy was attacked. They were reporting a "routine" story: covering American troops for Memorial Day. The trio was only planning to be out for a few hours, in order to get back to the CBS Baghdad bureau in time to edit their piece.
Veteran cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and soundman James Brolan, 42, were killed. Dozier, 39, sustained serious injuries and was flown to a U.S. military hopsital inside Baghada's Green Zone, where she underwent surgery. She is in critical condition, but doctors are cautiously optimistic about her prognosis.
Dozier and her London-based crew are among the latest American television journalists to become casualties in Iraq. Former ABC News "World News Tonight" co-anchor Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug Vogt suffered severe injuries in a roadside bombing in Iraq Jan. 29, 2006. Woodruff is still recovering from serious head injuries and broken bones. Cameraman Vogt has returned home to France for more rehab.
