For the second day in a row, Anderson Cooper and his news crew have been attacked in Cairo.

Cooper tweeted Thursday morning, "Situation on ground in #egypt very tense. Vehicle I was in attacked. My window smashed. All ok."

On Wednesday, Cooper and his CNN news crew were attacked by pro-Mubarak mobs. Cooper himself was punched at least ten times/. He later said he was sore, but OK.

On Wednesday, Katie Couric and Christiane Amanpour were both harassed by protesters and, on Thursday, Fox News Channel's foreign correspondent Greg Palkot and producer Olaf Wiig were severely beaten and hospitalized in Cairo.

CNN released footage Wednesday of the first attack on Cooper. Watch it here.
