London Synagogue Arson Attacks

A 17-year-old boy and a 19-year-old man were detained after a bottle containing an accelerant was thrown through a window at Kenton United Synagogue.

Metropolitan Police Deputy Commissioner Matt Jukes warned that 'thugs for hire' may be receiving payments to carry out acts of intimidation.

Jewish leaders have expressed deep concern over a sustained campaign of violence and have called for increased government support.

The investigation is part of a broader probe into foreign state efforts to sow discord on UK soil.
