The hospital has not given a timeline for Dozier's treatment, but patients
injured in Iraq are commonly stabilized at Landstuhl, in southern Germany, for
three to four days before being transferred to the U.S. for further treatment.
The CBS Web site reported that it was "expected that in the next couple of
days Dozier will be stable and she will be transported to an appropriate medical
facility in the United States."
Dozier had been traveling in a U.S. military convoy working on a story about
Memorial Day in Iraq when a car bomb exploded.
CBS News reported on its Web site that the three journalists -- all embedded
with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division -- had been in an
armored Humvee.
But at the time of the blast they were outside on the street, accompanying
troops who had stopped to inspect a checkpoint manned by the Iraqi Army. The
site said they were wearing helmets, flak jackets and protective eyeglasses.
