    Arab media said the gunman was identified as Abdul-Aziz Yahya al-Abdi, a former air force pilot. He was arrested in Raydah in the Amran governorate.

    Police are still investigating the motive of the crime, but witnesses say the gunman approached al-Nahari and told him “Jew, accept Islam’s message” and then shot him five times with an AK-47 assault rifle.

    Al-Abdi is alleged to have murdered his wife two years ago but was not jailed because he agreed to pay compensation to the wife’s family, said Pan-Arab daily al-Sharq al-Awsat.

    Ahmed al-Sarihi, a security official, told the daily that al-Abdi was a religious extremist that suffered from mental problems and that during interrogation he admitted killing al-Nahari and telling police that “these Jews must convert to Islam.”

    Although Yemen is overwhelmingly Muslim, a small community of 300-400 Jews still live there.

    Since 1949 about 50,000 members of the once-thriving Yemeni Jewish community are reported to have been secretly airlifted to Israel.

    Look at these zeesa kinderlech, mit di gantza Yiddeshe Chein. Hashem Yinkom Domoi. Here is proof against all those saying that Israel is the problem. While Israel might be a problem regardless of which shiteh someone holds, this Jew was not killed because of Israel, but because he is a Jew.

    Let’s see if in 1 week the marketers start sending out letters in the mail pleading with us to give donations to the yetomim of Yemen like we got for the yetomim of Bombay.

    Somehow, I don’t think the Heimish olam will react as emotionally for the brown-skinned orphans like they do for the more affluent and well-connected ones.

    To #9 , Satmar in Florida,
    Thank you for your well-thought-out answer and I sincerely hope you are correct. However, you and I both know that the Chabad & Boro Park orphans will be well-compensated by their fellow Jews but the Yemenite orphans will see nary a penny even though both groups were orphaned for the same reason: to the goyim they are Jews.
