[0:04] On World News Tonight, attacked in Iraq.
[0:07] ABC's Bob Woodruff and cameraman Doug
[0:10] Vote severely wounded in a roadside
[0:12] bombing. The risk they and others take
[0:14] to cover the story. Deadly threat, the
[0:17] growing menace of roadside bombs, 10,000
[0:20] in just the last year. Troops say they
[0:22] feel like sitting ducks. The big chill.
[0:26] the top climate expert at NASA who says
[0:28] the White House tried to keep him quiet
[0:30] about global warming and the men who led
[0:33] Enron go on trial. There is so much
[0:36] public anger. Why making the case
[0:38] against them might not be easy.
[0:43] >> From ABC News headquarters in New York,
[0:46] this is World News Tonight.
[0:51] >> Good evening. I'm Elizabeth Vargas. We
[0:54] begin tonight in Iraq as we have on so
[0:56] many nights on this broadcast. But this
[0:58] evening, the story is about two of our
[1:00] colleagues and friends at ABC News. My
[1:02] co-anchor Bob Woodruff and cameraman
[1:04] Doug Vote were on assignment in Iraq
[1:06] with a military convoy near the city of
[1:09] Taji north of Baghdad when a roadside
[1:12] bomb exploded. Bob and Doug were hit by
[1:14] shrapnel and both men sustained head
[1:16] injuries. Bob also suffered injuries to
[1:19] his upper body. Both men have emerged
[1:22] from surgery in serious but stable
[1:24] condition and they are awaiting an
[1:26] airlift to a US military hospital in
[1:28] Germany. The White House said in a
[1:30] statement, quote, "Our thoughts and
[1:32] prayers are with Mr. Woodruff and Mr.
[1:34] Vote. We are praying for their full and
[1:36] speedy recovery." We start our coverage
[1:39] tonight in Washington with ABC's Martha
[1:41] Ratitz, who's been to Iraq many times.
