medium article 2 min

A fourth suspect was arrested at Westminster Magistrates Court in London in connection with the arson attack on Jewish volunteer ambulances. The 19-year-old man was apprehended while attending the hearing of three other suspects charged with arson with intent to damage property and being reckless as to whether life would be endangered. The other three suspects, Hamza Iqbal, Rehan Khan, and a 17-year-old boy, were remanded in custody. The arson attack occurred in the early hours of March 23rd, when four Hatzola ambulances were set on fire in Golders Green, causing gas canisters to explode. Authorities are investigating whether an Iranian-backed group claiming responsibility was actually involved, and counter-terrorism police are leading the investigation, although the incident has not been declared as terrorism.
