In a recent development, the United Arab Emirates announced that police have apprehended three Uzbek nationals in connection with the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, an Israeli-Moldovan ultra-Orthodox rabbi based in Dubai. The 28-year-old rabbi, who operated a kosher grocery store in the city, was reported missing last Thursday.
The Interior Ministry of the UAE did not provide a motive for the killing of Rabbi Kogan. The suspects, identified as Olimpi Tohirovic (28), Mahmoud John Abdul Rahim (28), and Azizi Kamilovic (33), were taken into custody. However, it remains unclear whether formal charges have been filed against them.
