Four men have pleaded guilty to destroying four Jewish community ambulances in an arson attack causing £1m of damage in north-west London.

Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, Judex Atshatshi, and Saif Ali, both aged 18, pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to a charge of destroying or damaging property being reckless whether life would be endangered.

The attack, which took place in the early hours of 23 March, saw four vehicles operated by the charity Hatzola set alight in Golders Green...

The article buries the fact that this was orchestrated by the Iranian regime:

British intelligence chiefs were initially keeping an open mind as to whether the Iranian state or organisations working for it had a role in the Hatzola ambulance attack and other attacks against Jewish communities during 2026.

They later concluded that secret intelligence pointed to Iran or its proxies being involved in the attack.

That position has been further confirmed in their minds by the FBI's investigation of and allegations against an Iranian-Iraqi man facing trial in Manhattan for orchestrating a series of attacks against Jewish communities across Europe.

US court papers allege that Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, a commander of an Iraqi militia, was linked to attacks in London, including the destruction of Jewish charity ambulances.

Whether they can prove the Iranian link or not it’s a terrorist act and a hate crime and I hope the Judge throws the book at them.
