German tourist killed in crocodile attack

CANBERRA, Australia -- A 13-foot crocodile killed a German tourist who was swimming in one of Australia's largest national parks, police said Wednesday.

The 24-year-old woman, whose identity was not released, was in a waterhole in Kakadu National Park in northern Australia late Tuesday when she disappeared. Witnesses said they heard her scream and she vanished beneath the water.

James Rothwell, 24, of Essex, England, said he felt a crocodile brush against his leg. "Seconds later I heard a girl scream and the girl went under the water."
