JERUSALEM - An American tourist 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.
Kaye Wilson, a Briton who immigrated to Israel, said she and Christine Logan, a visitor from the United States, were attacked by two Arabic-speaking men while hiking on Saturday in a wooded area south of Jerusalem.
Wilson told police she played dead and managed to reach a parking area where people called the police, who mounted an overnight search for Logan. Her body was found early on Sunday.
Police identified Logan as an American but gave no further details. Wilson was treated in a Jerusalem hospital for multiple stab wounds.
