American tourists said knifed in Iran hotel
TEHRAN, June 28 (Reuters) - Two American women visiting the central
Iranian city of Isfahan were wounded in a knife attack by a would-be thief,

``The thief entered the room of the two tourists through the cooling
ducts'' at the Abbasi Hotel, popular with Western tourists, the newspaper
said, adding the incident took place about a week ago.
It said the man had been detained and the women were pressing charges
in the case. No other details were immediately available.

is a strong draw for foreign tourists.
