A British teenager pleaded guilty on Friday over an arson attack at offices<\/a> linked to television station Iran International in northwest London earlier this year.<\/p>\n

Nathan Dunn, 19, pleaded guilty to a charge of “arson being reckless as to whether life is endangered” at London<\/a>‘s Old Bailey Court over the incident in April in which an ignited container was thrown towards premises belonging to Volant Media, the parent company of the London-based broadcaster.<\/p>\n

The device landed in a car park, and the fire<\/a> extinguished itself, causing no damage or injuries.<\/p>\n

Dunn had originally been charged alongside a 21-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy, who cannot be identified because of his age.<\/p>\n

At the time of the incident, a number of nearby buildings were evacuated as a precaution, although it was quickly established there was no wider risk.<\/p>\n

Nearby police<\/a> officers were notified of the incident, and upon immediate investigation, it was determined that the suspects had fled the scene in a black SUV. A police vehicle then located a vehicle that matched the description of the getaway car.<\/p>\n

The vehicle refused to stop for law enforcement, leading to a chase before crashing. The suspects were then arrested.<\/p>\n

Iran International said a suspicious vehicle was denied entry to its London site shortly before the incendiary devices were thrown into a nearby car park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A British teenager pleaded guilty on Friday over an arson attack at offices linked to television station Iran…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":259043,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[3538,14401,1105,34,2751,689,691],"class_list":["post-259042","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-iran","tag-arrest","tag-arson","tag-crime","tag-iran","tag-journalism","tag-media","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@iran\/117133687152882826","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259042","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=259042"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/259042\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/259043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=259042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=259042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/iran\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=259042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
