Counter-terror police launch probe after London business targeted in arson attack
"A man was seen to approach a row of shops with a plastic bag containing three bottles of liquid on Friday evening. He tried to set the items in the bag alight, but when the bottles failed to fully ignite he fled the scene."
"The alleged attack was claimed online by individuals purporting to be from group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyah (HAYI), who said they were targeting Jewish education charity Jewish Futures."
"Commander Helen Flanagan, of Counter Terrorism Policing London, said: At this stage, last night's arson is not being linked to other incidents in the north west London area over the last week or last month's arson in Golders Green but counter terrorism officers are leading due to the similarities of each attack."
An arson attack occurred in Hendon, London, where a man attempted to ignite three bottles of liquid but fled when they failed to fully ignite. The incident is under investigation by Counter Terrorism Policing London. The group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyah claimed responsibility for the attack, targeting the Jewish education charity Jewish Futures. Although similarities exist with other recent incidents, this attack is not currently linked to them. Minor damage was reported, and no injuries occurred during the incident.
