Three suspects accused of murdering an Israeli-Moldovan rabbi in the United Arab Emirates were apprehended in Istanbul over the weekend during a covert operation by Turkey’s National Intelligence Organization and police.
The suspects, two 28-year-olds and a 33-year-old, all Uzbek nationals, were extradited to the UAE upon a request from Emirati authorities, Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency reported, citing security officials it didn’t identify by name. The men had arrived in Turkey after allegedly killing Rabbi Zvi Kogan, who had been living in Abu Dhabi as an emissary for Chabad-Lubavitch, a Jewish organization.
