Two Men Arrested in Attack on Jewish Charity Ambulances in London [View all]

The police in London have arrested two men accused of setting fire to ambulances operated by a Jewish volunteer service, in one of several attacks in Europe claimed by a previously unknown Islamist group.

The men, aged 45 and 47, were detained on Wednesday morning at two homes in northwest London, the Metropolitan Police said in a statement. They are accused of arson with intent to endanger life, which has a maximum sentence of life imprisonment. Their names were not released, in keeping with privacy rules that govern communications by the British police.

The police had said they were looking for three suspects in connection with the fire, which started around 1.30 a.m. on Monday. Oxygen canisters inside the ambulances exploded in the blaze, destroying three vehicles and smashing the windows of nearby homes. Nobody was injured in the attack.

The group, calling itself Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya, has also claimed responsibility for a series of fires and explosions in Europe that started on March 9 and have struck synagogues, Jewish schools and an American bank. None of the attacks have caused injuries but they have created fear and distress amid rising antisemitism.
