Two Palestinians Arrested for Murdering U.S. Hiker
(Jerusalem Post) Yaakov Katz - Two Palestinians from West Bank villages near Hebron have been arrested for murdering American tourist Christine Logan on Dec. 19 in a forest near Beit Shemesh, the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) revealed on Wednesday. The suspects were arrested on Dec. 21. Susan Wilson, who was hiking with Logan and was found with her hands bound and several stab wounds to her chest and back, succeeded in stabbing one of the suspects in the arm with a small pocketknife. This enabled the ISA to identify one of the suspects, who was imprisoned in Israel in the past, through DNA samples that were found at the scene. One of the suspects, Kafah Animat, also confessed to murdering Neta Blatt, a teacher, last February near Beit Shemesh. The suspects also confessed to perpetrating additional stabbing and shooting attacks with the declared goal of murdering Jews.
