American tourist stabbed dead in Israel

An American tourist was brutally stabbed to death in Israel as she hiked with a friend who says they were attacked by a pair of Arab men.

Israeli officials found the body of Christine Logan, 40, a U.S. citizen whose hometown was not immediately released, outside of Jerusalem on Sunday morning. She was bound and had been stabbed multiple times.

Logan’s friend, Kaye Susan Wilson, who hails from England but has lived in Israel for decades, was also bound and stabbed numerous times but managed to escape.

A hospital spokesman said Wilson’s wounds were superficial and she did not suffer heavy blood loss, the Jerusalem Post reported.
