Briton dies in Jerusalem stabbing

A British man was stabbed to death and another injured in an attack in Jerusalem, the Foreign Office has said.

Shmuel Mett, 21, and fellow Jewish religion student Sammy Weisberg were attacked in the Old City area on Wednesday evening. Reports said the men were attacked by a Palestinian with a kitchen knife.
