British woman stabbed to death in Jerusalem
A British student stabbed to death by a Palestinian man in Jerusalem has been named as 20-year-old Hannah Bladon.
Ms Bladon, a student at the University of Birmingham, had been on an exchange programme with the Rothberg International School at Hebrew University of Jerusalem since January. Israeli police spokeswoman Luba Samri said the man attacked her as she travelled on the light rail near Jerusalem’s Old City, The Independent reports.
She was rushed to Jerusalem’s Hadassah Medical Center but died soon after arrival. Israel's Shin Bet intelligence service said the Palestinian attacker had recently tried to kill himself in hospital by swallowing a razor blade and that he was convicted of sexually abusing his daughter in 2011.
In a statement, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem expressed its "deep sorrow over the murder of a British student, Hannah Bladon, in today's attack".
