<span style="font-weight: bold"> Confirmed : American tourist stabbed to death in Israel ( Reuters )...</span>
An American tourist was stabbed to death and another woman wounded while hiking in foothills outside Jerusalem, Israeli police said on Sunday. "We are examining whether this is a nationalistic stabbing, but other leads are being examined as well," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said, using Israel's term for an attack by Palestinian militants.Kaye Wilson, a Briton who immigrated to Israel, said she and Christine Logan, a visitor from the United States, were attacked by two Arab men while hiking on Saturday south of Jerusalem in an area near Israel's border with the occupied West Bank."All of a sudden two Arabs walked by and they asked me in Hebrew if I had any water. So I said, dismissively, 'see ya'. But I immediately felt that something was wrong," Wilson told Israel's Channel Two TV from her hospital bed."I was scared, but my friend became a bit hysterical, so I told her in English -- they spoke in Arabic -- 'be quiet, don't make any noise, it'll make them attack us,'" she said."Suddenly, they came, it happened so quickly. They attacked us. One of them took out a very long knife, not a bread knife, but one that was serrated," Wilson said."I played dead. I saw (the knife) hadn't gone into my heart. My friend was dying, I heard her making gurgling sounds."Wilson, who was stabbed several times, managed to reach a parking area where people called the police, who mounted an overnight search for Logan. Her bound body was found early on Sunday.Police identified Logan as an American but gave no hometown. Israeli emergency personnel carry the body of U.S. tourist Christine Logan, discovered in a wooded area near the village of Matta, south of Jerusalem December 19, 2010. Logan was stabbed to death and another woman wounded while hiking in Israel, police said on Sunday. ''We are examining whether this is a nationalistic stabbing, but other leads are being examined as well,'' police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said, using Israel's term for an attack by Palestinian militants.Photo Credit: (Reuters)http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fb...63726987003864
