American woman kidnapped by Arabs outside Jerusalem; UPDATE: Woman found dead

An American woman has apparently been kidnapped by Arab terrorists in a forest between Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh.

A huge police and IDF search was under way on Saturday night for a woman feared kidnapped in the Beit Shemesh-Jerusalem area, in what police think could be a nationalistically motivated incident. The search, which was joined by volunteers, was launched after another Kaye Susan Wilson, found with her hands bound and several stab wounds in her chest and back, reported being attacked by two Arab men in a forest near Mata, located outside Jerusalem, within the Green Line. She said she escaped her attackers and managed to reach Mata, where she met two families in a park. They contacted emergency services. Wilson, 46, a tour guide, made aliya from Britain in 1991, and lives in Givat Zeev. Her missing friend is believed to be American. Her stab wounds were superficial and she did not lose a lot of blood, accordingto a spokesman at Hadassah University Medical Center in Jerusalem’s Ein Kerem. She suffered moderate-to-light injuries, and was treated in the trauma unit. The spokesman refused to give any more details, saying the case was in police hands, and declined to let doctors speak to the press.

Hey folks - don't ever go hiking in a forest in Israel without a melaveh neshek (armed escort) unless you're carrying a weapon yourself and know how to use it or unless the forest is very crowded (in which case someone else is likely to have a weapon).

Unfortunately, she's been found dead (Hat Tip: Findalis). The body of Christine Logan, who went missing in the Beit Shemesh-Jerusalem area, was found early Sunday morning, after police and IDF searched all Saturday night, fearing she was kidnapped in a nationalistically motivated incident. The search, which was joined by volunteers, was launched after another Kaye Susan Wilson, found with her hands bound and several stab wounds in her chest and back, reported being attacked by two Arab men in a forest near Mata, located outside Jerusalem, within the Green Line. Logan's body was found on the road between Mata and Beit Shemesh. Condolences to the family. Although it's probably not much consolation to the family, hopefully, the terrorists will be found and punished. Read more at israelmatzav.blogspot.com
