According to police, two French-Israeli brothers lured an Arab cab driver up to their apartment on Monday and killed him. The deceased, a resident of East Jerusalem, had driven them home when they invited him up for coffee. The older brother, 25, admitted to slitting the cabbie’s throat. It is unclear what role the younger brother, 21, played in the murder.

The brothers confessed that the murder was nationalistically/racially motivated, stating they did it because the driver was an Arab.
