\u201cThere is significant evidence that this was a premeditated and targeted attack against the Jewish community,\u201d prosecutor Emma Harraway told the court.<\/p>\n
Two men in their 40s were released on bail on March 25 over the attack in Golders Green, which is home to a significant Jewish population. Nobody was physically hurt in the attack.<\/p>\n
\t Since the Golders Green fire, the police have promised beefed-up security around Jewish community sites across London.<\/p>\n Counterterror police are investigating the attack as an antisemitic hate crime and\u00a0looking into a claim of responsibility by a group with potential links to Iran, but have not declared it an act of terrorism.<\/p>\n The Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya group, or Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right, has also claimed responsibility for attacks on Jewish communities in Belgium and the Netherlands. French counterterror officials have likewise suggested the group may have been involved in a foiled bomb plot targeting a Bank of America<\/a> branch in Paris on March 28.<\/p>\n Jewish communities in North America and Europe have been targeted<\/a> over a dozen times since the US and Israel launched a bombing campaign on Iran on February 28 in a bid to destabilize its regime and destroy its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.<\/p>\n
