BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff and his cameraman were seriously wounded Sunday in a roadside bomb attack near Taji, according to a statement from ABC News president David Westin.

Woodruff, who co-anchors "World News Tonight" with Elizabeth Vargas, and cameraman Doug Vogt "are in serious condition and are being treated at a U.S. military hospital in Iraq."

ABC reported that it was hearing from its Baghdad bureau that the two were in the hatch of a military vehicle taping at the time of the explosion, which was followed by small-arms fire.

ABC said the two have head injuries, and Woodruff was undergoing surgery at the U.S. military hospital in Balad, 50 miles north of Baghdad.

The two were embedded with the U.S. Army's 4th Infantry Division and traveling in an Iraqi mechanized vehicle at the time of the attack.

Taji is about 20 miles north of Baghdad.

Improvised Explosive Device

Pretty much the weapon that US ground forces are most afraid of.

Another fine example, of many things.
Here we have civilian reporters attacked. Looks like they would want the truth told of how USA/Brits are in the wrong.
