DETROIT -- A 16-year-old honor student from Michigan tricked her parents into getting her a passport and then flew off to the Mideast to be with a West Bank man she met on MySpace.com, authorities say.So why exactly do no news outlets describe this man as a Palestinian?
U.S. officials in Jordan persuaded her to turn around and go home before she reached the West Bank. She was on her way home Friday.
Katherine R. Lester is a straight-A student and student council member, her father said. "She's a good girl. Never had a problem with her," Terry Lester said.
Katherine disappeared Monday after talking her family into getting her a passport by saying she was going to Canada with friends, sheriff's officials said. She apparently planned to visit a man whose MySpace account describes him as a 25-year-old from Jericho, Undersheriff James Jashinske said.
The FBI traced the teenager to a Wednesday flight from New York's Kennedy Airport to Tel Aviv, Israel. At a scheduled stop in Amman, Jordan, U.S. officials persuaded her to return home, FBI agent Robert Beeckman said.
It was not immediately known when she would arrive back in the United States. Terry Lester said the family was keeping details of the return private.
Katherine apparently contacted the man from Jericho about three months ago, Jashinske said. Jericho, a city of 17,000, is a relatively calm area of the volatile West Bank.

Michigan girl tries to run off to Palestinian Arab man
This is a very strange story, but what is perhaps stranger is the word that no news outlet is using.

I don't believe this girl has been seduced by a true follower of the Prophet Mohammed (pbuh). At 16 years old she's way past her sell-by date.
I certainly haven't heard that detail in any other version of this story.
ROP,
At 16 years old she's way past her sell-by date.
But she looks much younger in the photo.
Jericho hey? Where is Joshua when you need him??
Simply put, just because they are in the West Bank doesn't mean they're necessarily Palestinian... the withdrawl of Israeli citizens only took Isrealis from the Gaza Strip, and only portions from the West Bank.
Anonymous makes a good point.
It could have been the JOOOOOOOZ!!!
Caravans is not real at all. I've met women who went off to marry a romantic Arab and live the life of a Beduin girl. Well, it's a heart break, for the girl, for the endless sick and tormented children, and for those of us who witness it. A nightmare in the desert sun. Unbelievalbly upsetting to see people living like that. No one deserves it, not even spoiled American teenagers. The only question now is whether she'll grow up to be a maniac dhimmi from afar.
There are no Jews in Jericho.
