Report: Missing rabbi’s car found abandoned near Abu Dhabi
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe car of a missing Chabad rabbi has been found abandoned in Al Ain in the United Arab Emirates, Ynet news reports.
The Ynet report adds that three Uzbeks are suspected of kidnapping Rabbi Zvi Kogan and fleeing to Turkey.
Al Ain is around 150 kilometers (93 miles) from Abu Dhabi, where Kogan is based.
Israeli authorities are investigating Kogan’s disappearance together with the Emirates’ security services, amid growing concern that he was kidnapped and murdered. The incident is being treated as a suspected act of terrorism.
Kogan is a dual Israeli-Moldovan citizen and has been part of the Abu Dhabi Chabad chapter since Israel normalized ties with the UAE in 2020.
