Arson Charges for Antisemitic Attack on Jewish Ambulance Service

0:00On April 4, three young guys from East London just got hit with arson charges for setting fire to four ambulances owned by a Jewish charity in North. London's Golders Green, back on March 23rd, the blaze wiped out the vehicles from Hotsola in Northwest, a volunteer group that handles local emergencies and exploding oxygen tanks shattered. Windows in nearby apartments, Hamza Ipbal, a 20-year-old, Rihon Khan, 19, and a 17-year-old who can't be named, are the ones charged with arson and endangering, lives. They showed up in Westminster Magistrates Court Saturday, didn't enter pleas, and a judge ordered them to stay locked up. Cobb's nabbed a four suspect, too. This hit a neighborhood with a big Jewish community, and counter-terror police are treating it as an anti-Semitic hay crime. They're digging into a claim from a group possibly tied to Iran, though it's not called terrorism yet. Prosecutors called it a straight-up, pre-meditated attack on the Jewish community, with solid evidence pointing that way.
