   Israeli police say a female American tourist has been found stabbed to
   death on a road outside Jerusalem.
   Police said Sunday a second woman, a British national who reported her
   friend missing, was found with her hands bound and suffering from stab
   wounds.
   She  told  police  they  were  attacked by two Arab-speaking men while
   hiking Saturday in a wooded area south of Jerusalem.
   The   woman   says  her  American  friend  was  dragged  away  by  the
   attackers.   The  British  woman  says  she played dead, and was left
   bound and wounded.
   Police  say  they  are investigating multiple leads, including whether
   militants are responsible for the attacks.
