Report: Killers of UAE Chabad rabbi were planning to take him to Oman
[IsraelTimes] The Wall Street Journal reports that the killers of Chabad Rabbi Zvi Kogan in the United Arab Emirates had kidnapped him and planned to take him to neighboring Oman.The report says the three suspects were driving the Israeli-Moldovan national toward the border until their plan was somehow disrupted. While the cause of Kogan’s death has not been revealed, the outlet says he came to a “bloody end,” according to his friends and family. Kogan, a 28-year-old UAE-based rabbi, went missing in Dubai at the end of last month and his body was found a few days later in the Emirati city of Al Ain, which borders Oman. The UAE is holding three suspects over the murder — all of them Uzbek nationals who were arrested in Turkey. According to Kan, Israeli officials believe that Kogan’s killing was not necessarily carried out on behalf of Iran, but that it was a terror attack.
