UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Iran-Linked Group Claims Synagogue Arsons in London. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 20, counterterrorism police in London are probing if Iran is bankrolling local thugs to torch synagogues and Jewish spots. The latest hit the Kinsen United Synagogue in northwest London at midnight on Saturday with a fire bomb tossed through a window, caught on video, and claimed online. This fits a string of arson's targeting Israeli and Jewish-linked buildings across the capital. The group, Aishab Al Yaman, has taken credit for most, posting videos on telegram channels tied to Iran's regime, and they popped up with similar claims in Europe lately. Police brass called it violence for hire, where low-level crooks grabbed quick cash with no real ties to the cause, but faced long jail time. Chief Rabbi Sir Ephraim Mervis labelled it a cowardly assault amid rising anti-Jewish hate, while deputy commissioner Matt Jukes urged all faiths to. Earlier attacks scorched Jewish charity ambulances in Golders Green, four weeks back, and
petro bombs flew at Finchley Reform Synagogue last. Wednesday, leading to arrests, there were also foil tries on a media outfit in another Jewish building. Extra patrols are flooding the streets now, with top brass and prime minister Sir Keir Starmer vowing zero tolerance as communities rally in push, for stronger prevention to halt this wave of hate.
