LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former ABC News anchor Bob Woodruff will return to the airwaves in spring 2007 to do a special report on the bombing in Iraq that left him gravely wounded and on his recovery, the network said on Thursday.

At the same time, Woodruff, 45, and his wife, Lee, are co-authors of a book for publisher Random House focusing on their lives since the military patrol he was traveling with on assignment near Baghdad was hit by a roadside bomb on January 29.

The blast left Woodruff with severe injuries to his chest, neck, face and head and ended his weeks-old tenure as co-anchor of ABC's nightly newscast with Elizabeth Vargas. She later stepped down after becoming pregnant.

ABC News cameraman Doug Vogt, who suffered less serious injuries in the convoy attack, has since recovered.

4. Nope. Al Hunt is.

Dunno if the names are just a coincidence or not though. Could be siblings?
