STORYLINE:
Injured CBS correspondent Kimberly Dozier arrived early on Tuesday at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on a US military flight from Iraq.
She was transferred by ambulance to Landstuhl Regional Medical centre, where she will be treated for injuries suffered in a roadside bombing in Baghdad on Monday, officials at the US airbase said.
Dozier, along with cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and soundman James Brolan,42, were travelling in a US military convoy working on a story about American troops in Iraq on Memorial Day, when a car bomb exploded.
Douglas and Brolan, both British citizens, were killed in the blast.
Before her flight, Dozier, a 39-year-old US citizen, underwent two surgeries at a military hospital in Baghdad for injuries from the bombing, CBS said.
By early Tuesday, doctors had removed shrapnel from Dozier's head but said she had more serious injuries to her lower body, CBS News reported on its Web site.
The US military said an American soldier and an Iraqi interpreter were killed in the same blast and six American soldiers were injured.
