But women have been reporting in such situations for a long time and I don’t remember any such incidences.

If the perpetrators were men who believed that rape was a plausible punishment for perceived crimes or an acceptable way to behave in certain situations, I’d say it was culturally specific.

It seems to me they were sending a message to the Western World. “Don’t mess with us, or we will fuck you up.”

I’ve not heard reports of such behavior from other than Whacko Islamists.

It is Whacko behavior of a certain belief system. Not a representation of everyone of that belief system.

Google is your friend here. I just googled. Most hits are not surprisingly about this one Egypt. I found 4 other ones where female reporters were raped or sexually assaulted. One in India, one in Thailand, one in Slovakia and one in Somalia.
