Four Men Plead Guilty to Arson Attack on Jewish Ambulances in London
Four young British men—Hamza Iqbal, Rehan Khan, Judex Atshatshi, and Saif Ali—pleaded guilty at London's Old Bailey to arson charges for burning four Jewish community ambulances in March. The attack caused approximately £1 million in damage and endangered lives. The ambulances belonged to Hatzola, a volunteer emergency service serving the Orthodox Jewish community. The incident was linked to a series of arson attacks in London, with a pro-Iranian group claiming responsibility, prompting police investigations into possible Iranian connections.
