Arson Attacks Target London Jews
The latest attack occurred at Kenton United Synagogue, causing minor damage but escalating fears within the Jewish community.
Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis has warned of a 'sustained campaign of violence and intimidation' gathering momentum across the UK. Investigators are looking into whether 'thugs for hire' are being paid by foreign agents to carry out these crimes.
The Metropolitan Police have increased patrols around religious sites as the probe intensifies.
