Wounded CBS reporter coming home

LANDSTUHL, Germany, June 7 (UPI) -- CBS News correspondent Kimberly Dozier, who was seriously wounded in Iraq by a car bomb, is returning from Germany to the United States for medical treatment.

Dozier is flying from Germany to Washington, D.C., where, CBS reported Wednesday, she still faces a long and hard road to full recovery.

She underwent two emergency surgeries in Iraq before being flown to the U.S. military's Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany.

Dozier was critically wounded May 29 when a car packed full of explosives blew up. She and her crew were reporting a story for Memorial Day on the lives of troops in Baghdad. The attack killed her crew, Britons Paul Douglas and James Brolan, as well as a U.S. soldier and an Iraqi translator. The soldier has been identified as Army Capt. James Funkhouser who was just three months into his service in Iraq.

They were all wearing helmets, flak jackets and protective eyeglasses when the bomb went off.
