In Full: Police deliver statement following anti-Semitic firebomb attack in Golders Green

Counter-terror police are investigating an anti-Semitic firebomb attack feared to have been orchestrated by Iran, The Telegraph understands.

The Metropolitan Police will provide an update on the attack, in which four ambulances were set on fire outside a London synagogue, on Monday morning.

Scotland Yard are treating the arson as a hate crime, and officers are searching for three suspects seen on CCTV approaching the ambulances in Golders Green at around 1.45am on Monday.

Israeli embassy sources told the Telegraph that the firebombing had the hallmarks of an Iran-backed attack.

The arson will raise concerns that Tehran is mounting a concerted campaign of attacks across Europe following similar incidents in recent weeks.

  1. I guess this comes after Israel said that they will attack and blow out Ambulances and Hospitals in Lebanon this week, I guess that's not something we should condemn , but this definitely is! 🤷‍♂

  2. until the perpetrators are arrested and reveal their motives there 0 information; they are seen on CCTV, so it must be possible to track them back along their journey home.

  3. special branch first port of call should be all the grotty telegraph readers who were cheering on iran bombing the dimona facility the other night 😲

  4. یعودیو اور ٹرمپ پر لعنت لعنت لعنت لعنت لعنت لعنت لعنت لعنت لعنت لعنت لعنت لعنت

  5. The Brits should be happy. They avoided ‘Americanization’ in the 1980’s for a better life in the realm of Islam. Is it any wonder American Taxpayers no longer want to subsidize NATO for burgeoning Islamic states?

  6. "We're just fine, all we did is increase the security on our locks, avoid appearing in public wearing anything "Jewish", go to synagogue in 4s and 5s, guard our kindergartens with barbed wire, police dogs, police and security guards, avoid speaking in public as an advocate of reason, everything's ok, it's only a passing phase, no need to leave…"

  7. Ambulances being attacked: Terrorism and Fear actors are at play: This is abhorrent and the Police commissioner needs to start opening his eyes and start shaking up the Met to do the job.

  8. А знаете ли вы, что в Израиле самый большой банк человеческой кожи ? Больше чем в Китае и Индии ? И это при том что евреи не являются донорами по религиозным причинам. Это кожа и органы замученных ими палестинцев. Не верите ? Загуглите, еврейский министр здравоохранения хвастается этим во всех своих интервью.
