Kenton Synagogue Arson Attack

The attack, which was reportedly claimed by an Iranian sleeper cell, has sparked fresh fears for the safety of the Jewish community in the UK. Counter-terrorism police are investigating the incident as part of a wider series of suspected arson attacks across London.

The boy, a British national from Brent, was remanded in custody following his appearance at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Community leaders have condemned the 'cowardly' act and called for increased protection for religious sites amid rising tensions related to the Middle East conflict.
