London's Jewish, Iranian Spots Targeted in Arson Attacks

0:00British counterterrorism police are probing an attempted arson attack in London part of a recent wave hitting Jewish and Iranian spots around the city. On Friday night in the Hinden area, a guy ditched a bag with three bottles of fluid outside of building once used by the Jewish community, tried to set. It off, but it didn't fully ignite, any bolted. They're not connecting this one directly to earlier hits by the torching of four Jewish charity ambulances and nearby golders green back on March. 23rd or four folks got charged, but counterterrorism cops are leading the probe because of the clear similarities across these cases. Earlier this week on Wednesday, there was a botched arson try at a synagogue in northwest London, plus someone hurled an ignited container at a Persian media outfit in Wimbley. Two men and a teenage boy face arson charges for that. No one's hurt in any of these incidents so far. Officials are eyeing possible ties to Iran since the UK says they're using proxies for attacks on Jewish sites in opposition media here.

1:03MI5 even stopped over 20 deadly plots linked to them in the past year. Police are still hunting leads with no arrests from Friday's attempt, keeping a close watch as tensions simmer in the background. Local news powered by AI. This is Canada News Today.
