Islamist Group Threatens London Park, No Harmful Substances Found

0:00On April 18th, a London park shut down yesterday after an Islamist group called Harakat Ashab al-Yaman al-Islamia posted a video claiming they flew. Drones loaded with radioactive and cancer-causing materials toward the Israeli embassy. Cops from the Metropolitan Police locked off Kensington Gardens, sent in teams with hazmat suits and gas masks to check out some discarded items, treating it like a real thread. The video showed folks in white suits prepping drones with the group's logo, launching one at night from what looked like the park area. Security folks called it amateurish, but linked it to Iran. Backed outfits and police rolled out heavy gear including chemical response fans, fire, units, ambulances, and even divers near the bandstand. Locals got spooked with gates closed and hazard signs up, blocking access all morning. The group is owned up to other hits like Arsene on Jewish charity ambulances, synagogue attempts, and attacks on an Iranian TV spot, critical of regime, saying they're wrapping up to a second phase.

1:02Good news though, tests came back clean with no harmful substances or public risk, so the park flung its gates open again by Friday afternoon. No attack hit the embassy, and counter-terror cops are still digging for any video connection while keeping the site secure. Stay shop out there folks, report anything off by dialing the hotline or 999 in a pinch as these threats keep bubbling up.
