A local woman has been arrested over the fatal stabbing of an American teacher in the toilets of an upmarket shopping mall in Abu Dhabi, officials have said.
The unnamed suspect also planted a bomb outside the house of a US doctor, although the device was defused, the United Arab Emirates interior minister told state media.
Police said the teacher was stabbed to death by an attacker wearing the full black veil commonly worn by women throughout the Gulf Arab region.
The victim has been identified as 37-year-old Ibolya Ryan of Colorado by Footprints Recruiting, the teacher recruitment company that had found the job for her.
Police earlier said the victim had 11-year-old twins and that they were being kept in protective custody until their father, who is the victim's ex-husband, arrived in the country.
A blood-stained butcher's knife was found at the scene of her death, the Interior Ministry confirmed on its website.
Possible motives behind the murder remain unclear.
When asked if it was a terrorist attack, a spokesman for Abu Dhabi Police said the killing was under investigation and he "cannot say yes or no now".
Interior Minister Saif Bin Zayed said: "We are witnessing an unprecedented heinous crime in the UAE."
Footprints Recruiting said: "We await the results of the ongoing police investigation before making conclusions about why this senseless tragedy occurred.
"We are confident that the UAE in general and Abu Dhabi in particular remains a safe environment in which to live and work."
