(BBC) Arson attack on Jewish charity ambulances investigated by counter-terror police

An arson attack on Jewish charity-owned ambulances in north London is being treated as an antisemitic hate crime and is being investigated by counter-terror officers, the Metropolitan Police has said.

Four Hatzola ambulances were set ablaze in Golders Green in the early hours of Monday, causing several explosions – caused by gas canisters onboard the vehicles.

Det Ch Supt Luke Williams said the attack had not been declared a terror incident “at this stage”.
