London ¨C British police said they are investigating possible Iran links to a series of arson attacks on Jewish targets in London, which the U.K. chief rabbi said showed a sustained campaign of violence against the Jewish community was gathering momentum. After ?the latest attack, at Kenton United Synagogue in the Harrow area of the city shortly after midnight, the third such incident ?in a ?week, U.K. counter-terrorism police said they were heading up investigations into the incidents.
A pro-Iranian government group, ?which says it is also behind a spate of attacks across Europe on U.S., Israeli and Jewish targets, has said it was responsible.
¡°As the conflict in the Middle East continues to evolve, counter-terrorism policing and our partners remain alive to the threat of Iranian ?hostile activity in the U.K.,¡± Vicki Evans, Britain¡¯s senior national coordinator for Counter Terrorism Policing, told reporters.
