HDNET WORLD REPORT TO AIR EXCLUSIVE HIGH-DEFINITION COVERAGE OF GENERAL
ABIZAID CONVOY FIREFIGHT

What: HDNet has captured exclusive footage of General John Abizaid's convoy'
s firefight in Iraq. The "HDNet World Report" crew was embedded with the
top US military commander in the Middle East on February 12, when his convoy
came under fire from rocket-propelled grenades as it traveled through
Fallujah, 30 miles west of Baghdad.

The amazing high-definition footage includes the return fire from the
coalition and Iraqi civil defense soldiers escorting the General, as well as
the General questioning his troops about the attack and commenting
exclusively to HDNet on his beliefs about the attack as soon as it was over.

The "HDNet World Report," an original, long-form, news documentary series,
launched in January 2002 and covers the biggest news events from around the
globe in 1080i high-definition. World Report crews have been in Iraq since
May 2003, producing programs that provide the best evidence of how HD
newsgathering helps viewers understand the true reality of world events.

When: PREMIERES Sunday, February 22 at 8:30 p.m. ET / 5:30 PT
