US journalist Kimberly Dozier was in a stable but critical condition today when she arrived in Germany after a Baghdad bomb attack that killed two of her CBS colleagues.
"She is critically wounded as you know from the IED [improvised explosive device] blast yesterday, but right now she is doing as well as can be expected," Colonel W. Bryan Gamble said US military hospital in western Germany.
CBS cameraman Paul Douglas (48) and soundman James Brolan (42) were killed in the roadside bomb attack yesterday.
Ms Dozier had shrapnel removed from her head by doctors at a US military hospital in Iraq but has more serious injuries to her lower body, CBS News said on its website.
Col Gamble said Ms Dozier had been responsive during the flight from Iraq to the Ramstein Air Base, opening her eyes on command and moving her toes when she arrived at Landstuhl this morning.
Mr Douglas and Mr Brolan, who were both British, were working with Ms Dozier as a television crew embedded with the US military.
