Two Japanese Stabbed, One Killed in Turkey
September 9, 2013 Location: near the town of Goreme in Turkey's central Cappadocia region, which draws tourists to its volcanic rock formations and its centuries-old underground cities. Two Japanese tourists who were away from the main group were attacked by assailants with knives who stabbed them, killing Mai Kurihara, 22 and sending the other to the hospital. The students from Japan's Niigata University were found by other students. No motive was given, but some reports speculated that Japan had just won hosting the Olympics over Turkey.

Istanbul-based Association For Families With Lost Relatives handed out flyers for missing mother in Istanbul. On March 18 homeless scrap-paper collector Ziya Tasali, 46 confessed to bludgeoing 33-year-old American tourist Sarai Sierra to death in Istanbul. He denied trying to rape her in a half hour struggle in which he claims she struck him with her cellphone after he got angry that she would not kiss him. The body of the Staten Island New York woman was found in the ruins of Istanbul’s old city ten days after the attack amid Turkish press speculation she was a spy or a smuggler. The man said he had sniffed glue before he attacked the petite 33-year-old. The suspect escaped to Syria where he was fought with the rebels in Syria, but returned to Turkey when he was wounded and captured by authorities.
