CBS News: CBS News Correspondent Cami McCormick was injured today in Logar Province, Afghanistan, while on assignment for CBS Radio News.

McCormick was traveling with members of the United States Army when the vehicle was hit by an improvised explosive device (IED).

McCormick was initially treated at a field hospital, where she underwent surgery to stabilize her condition, and was then transported to Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan for additional treatment.

McCormick joined CBS News in September, 1998. She has won numerous awards for her reporting on some of the biggest stories since that time. She was at Ground Zero on September 11, 2001, in New Orleans when Hurricane Katrina wiped out its levees, and in the Gulf region for the start of the war in Iraq.

McCormick has traveled throughout Iraq many times since the U.S. invasion and has covered the Middle East for years. She was in Ramallah at the funeral for Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. She reported from Nablus and Bethlehem during the Israeli incursions of 2001. She has also reported from Gaza and Beirut.

Editor's Note: An American servicemember died today when his vehicle struck a roadside bomb, also in eastern Afghanistan. It is unclear at this time if the two events are related.
