“British police overnight arrested two teens in connection with an attempted arson of a London synagogue, authorities said Monday as they investigate a rash of recent attacks targeting the Jewish community as possible terrorism. A Metropolitan Police spokesperson told UPI in an emailed statement Monday that a 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man were arrested overnight …. There have been at least five separate arson attacks in London since four ambulances used by the Jewish community in Golders Green were set ablaze March 23. … The Met’s Counter Terrorism Policing unit is leading an investigation into all of these incidents, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Vicki Evans told reporters outside Kenton United in a Sunday press conference, stating that the ‘nature’ of all the crimes has been similar — ‘arson attacks targeting Israeli- and Jewish-linked premises in London.'” (04/20/26)
