UK charges three men over attack on Jewish ambulances

British prosecutors have charged three people over an arson attack on a Jewish community ambulance in north London.

Ambulances were set on fire on March 23 in what British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described as a “horrible” anti-Semitic attack.

The SITE Intelligence website said the People of the Right Hand Islamic Movement, a multinational militant collective affiliated with Iran, claimed responsibility for the incident, which took place near a synagogue in London’s Golders Green district.

Counter-terrorism officers are investigating, but the incident is not yet being treated as terrorism.

The Crown Prosecution Service said the three men, aged 20, 19 and 17, were charged with arson with intent to damage property and being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.

Two of them are British citizens and the third is a dual British-Pakistani citizen.

The three men were expected to appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Saturday.
