Iran ‘categorically rejects’ allegations of involvement in murder of Abu Dhabi rabbi

Iran “categorically rejects” allegations that it was involved in the murder of Rabbi Zvi Kogan, an emissary to Abu Dhabi’s Chabad chapter, in a statement to Reuters from Tehran’s embassy in the UAE.

Kogan’s body was found this morning in the Emirati city of Al Ain, which borders Oman, around 150 kilometers (93 miles) from Abu Dhabi.

Hebrew media has reported that Israeli officials suspect Kogan was assaulted by a number of Uzbek citizens, recruited by Iran, who later fled to Turkey.
