Sydney, Australia - Israeli Man Stabbed To Death By Gang
Sydney, Australia - An Israeli man was stabbed to death by a gang of men who cornered him outside a store at Sydney's Bondi Beach.
New South Wales state police said they found the 36-year-old man - whose identity was not immediately released - slumped outside a convenience store late Saturday suffering from multiple stab wounds.
The man was rushed to a nearby hospital but died several hours later.
Vic Alhadeff, head of the Jewish Board of Deputies, said local residents had identified the man as Israeli, but that the attack did not appear to be related to the conflict in Lebanon. "Word came back to us last night from people in the area who saw it and found out that the man was an Israeli." "There was a car load of people who stopped and they got out and they assaulted him pretty brutally and some of them were hitting him with a pole or something," he said.
New South Wales police said they could not immediately confirm the man's nationality.

SYDNEY, Australia
Police charged a 32-year-old Israeli man with murder on Monday over the fatal stabbing of another Israeli national near Sydney's Bondi Beach at the weekend.
Police found Hernan Guelman, 36, slumped on the sidewalk outside a convenience store late Saturday suffering from multiple stab wounds. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but died several hours later.
On Sunday, the 32-year-old man reported himself to police over the stabbing, the New South Wales state police said in a statement. He was charged with murder and was to appear at Sydney's Waverley Local Court on Monday.
Witnesses said Guelman was attacked by a gang of men, but it was not immediately clear whether anyone else was involved, police said.
Guelman was a former Israeli soldier who had lived in Australia for three years.
