The United Arab Emirates said Sunday it arrested three people for the murder of an Israeli rabbi, which Israel has condemned as an anti-Semitic “terrorist attack”.
“The Ministry of Interior announced that the UAE authorities have arrested in record time the three perpetrators involved in the murder” of Tzvi Kogan, a statement carried by the official WAM news agency said.
The ministry described Kogan as “a Moldovan national according to his identification documents at the time of entry into the UAE, where he lived as a resident”.
The 28-year-old’s body had been found by security services in the Gulf Arab state, the Israeli prime minister’s office and the foreign ministry said earlier Sunday.
The UAE’s Interior Ministry later said authorities arrested three people in connection with his death.
