Christian Missionary Kristine Luken Mistaken for Jewish by Palestinian Killers

(ABC News) Jacob Rascon - Four Palestinian men have been indicted in the stabbing death of American woman Kristine Luken who the suspects say was killed because they thought she was Jewish. Four more Palestinians from the West Bank have been arrested for providing logistical support to the killers. Luken was stabbed to death while hiking in a forest outside Jerusalem with a friend, Kaye Susan Wilson, Dec. 17, 2010. Israeli police arrested Kifah Ghneimat and Iyad Fatafa, who confessed to the murder within 48 hours of the attack, but kept the arrests secret because they realized that more suspects were involved, and that the group was responsible for a wave of violent crimes. The cell is accused in a string of murders, rapes, robberies and shooting attacks against the Israeli military and Jewish civilians dating back to 2009.
