Israeli police say they have begun extradition proceedings
against an Israeli rabbi who went to Canada after being
suspected of abusing the children of one of his followers.
A police spokesman says two children, aged three and
four, were burned and severely beaten with hammers,
knives and other instruments.
The three-year-old suffered brain damage, he added.
The children's mother has been charged with abuse.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld says the rabbi
hasn't been charged with a crime.
But police have identified the suspect being
sought as Rabbi Elior Chen.
Rosenfeld says the rabbi had travelled to Canada in
the past few days.
Officials at the Canadian Embassy in Tel Aviv were not
immediately available for comment Monday.
