Counter-terror police investigate arson attacks on Iranian and Jewish targets

Met police look into incident near office of Iran International after attempted firebombing of a synagogue

Counter terror investigators are examining three separate arson attacks in London against an Iranian dissident and Jewish targets amid fears the Iranian state may be behind them.

The latest attack came on Wednesday evening at about 8.30pm against the offices of the parent group of a company that runs Iran International, a Persian news channel which opposes the regime in Tehran.
