Definitely not a random attack, the person who killed her waited in a mall bathroom for an hour and a half before she came in.

American teachers in Abu Dhabi were warned that jihadis were threatening to kill them just weeks before a 47-year-old was stabbed to death in a mall by a burqa-wearing murderer, it emerged today.

Every American in the United Arab Emirates was warned today step up their security today after the kindergarten teacher was stabbed to death by a knife-wielding murderer in a burqa.

Ibolya Ryan, a mother of twin 11-year-old boys, was left dying in a pool of blood by the murderer after what police said was a ‘brawl’ in the toilets of a mall.

Detectives today released CCTV footage which showed how the suspect – whose gender they say they have not confirmed – lay in wait for the teacher for an hour.

It suggests strongly the attack was a targeted murder. Witnesses today told MailOnline the victim had been stabbed up to six times.

The victim was named by CNN as Ibolya Ryan, 47, a US-trained teacher who was described in an online profile as Hungarian-born and raised in Romania. She trained as a teacher in the United States.
