LONDON: An investigation has been launched into an arson attack on an Islamic center linked to the Iranian government in London in which two flammable objects were thrown into the grounds, police said on Tuesday.
A 47-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life following the incident in the early hours.
“The Islamic Center has previously been the site of protest and altercations between groups who support and are opposed to the regime in Iran,” a spokesperson for London’s Metropolitan Police said.
No one was injured in the incident in the central London district of Maida Vale and there was no damage to the center, police added.
