Arson Attempt on Persian Media Office in London

0:00On April 6th, three men got pinched after trying to torch a Persian media office in northwest London. It went down around 8.30 p.m. on Wednesday, April 15th in Wimbly. Cops on patrol spotted an ignited container chucked at the building, but it landed in a car park and fizzled out on its own. No damage, no one heard. Police jumped on a quick, linking the crew to a black SUV that peeled out. An armed response team nearby clocked the ride and gave chase when it didn't pull over. The pursuit ended in a crash on Ballads Lane or Woodbury Gardens. Folks in nearby buildings got evacuated just to be safe, but everything checked out fine, with no bigger thread. The target was a Persian language outfit, and the whole thing shook up the local scene without causing real harm. Detectives from counterterrorism policing London are on the case with local backup, even though it's not tagged as terror. A 16-year-old boy and two guys, 19 and 21, are still in custody on arson charges that could endanger lives.
