North London memorial wall for victims of Iranian regime targeted in suspected arson attack

British police say they are investigating a suspected arson attack overnight at a memorial wall for victims of the Iranian regime in a north London area that is home to a large Jewish community, amid a recent spate of incidents in the British capital.

London’s Metropolitan Police say the investigation is being led by Counter Terror Policing, though it is not being treated as a terrorist incident.

They say that no arrests have been made and that the memorial wall was not damaged.

“We recognise that this incident will heighten concerns in the Golders Green area, where residents have already faced a series of attacks,” Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams says in a statement.

Over the last month, counterterrorism officers have arrested more than two dozen people as part of investigations into attacks on Jewish-linked premises, including the torching of ambulances belonging to the Jewish volunteer emergency service Hatzola in Golders Green on March 23.
