> 12:02pm: CBS's Lara Logan told the AP that the Taji area is considered particularly dangerous because it was the site of one of Saddam Hussein's munitions dumps.

> 9:51am: "Both men suffered head injuries. Woodruff sustained shrapnel wounds and Vogt was hit by shrapnel in the head and suffered a broken shoulder," ABCNews.com reports.

> 9:36am: Woodruff and Vogt were traveling with a producer and soundperson, ABC said. They were not injured. There were no other injuries in the attack.
