Iran Rejects Accusation of Involvement in Death of Israeli Rabbi

The Emirati Interior Ministry said on Sunday that three people have been arrested in the United Arab Emirates in connection with the killing of the Israeli rabbi, Zvi Kogan.

The Iranian Embassy in the UAE said it "categorically rejects the allegations of Iran’s involvement in the murder of this individual," Reuters reported.

Kogan was a resident of the UAE and also a Moldovan national, according to local authorities. He worked with the New York-based Orthodox Jewish Chabad movement and was first reported missing on Thursday. His body was discovered on Sunday.
