Lara Logan, the CBS chief foreign affairs correspondent who was attacked in Egypt, left the hospital to return home on Tuesday at 5 p.m.

Logan, who was beaten and sexually assaulted by a mob in Cairo on Feb. 11, vowed to return to work “within weeks,” according to the New York Post.

“She’s going to be OK,” one of Logan’s friends told TMZ.

Despite the brutality of the assault, her friends said that the 39-year-old senior correspondent is back in her Washington, D.C.-area home with her husband and two children and is “unbelievably strong.”

Logan, who has reported from war zones for the last 18 years, became a correspondent for 60 Minutes, and in 2006, CBS’s chief foreign correspondent.

The South Africa-born journalist was attacked in Tahrir Square after she became separated from her crew by a frenzied mob of more than 200 people, according to CBS News.
