The Kenton United Synagogue, in northwest London, was one of a string of mainly Jewish sites struck in arson attacks across the British capital and other European cities in the past two months, including schools, businesses and volunteer-run ambulances.
At least 17 incidents have been claimed by a shadowy online group calling itself Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI), roughly translated from Arabic as “The Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right(eous)” – which only emerged online in March and says it’s targeting “Zionist” interests.
A CNN investigation has found apparent links between HAYI and an Iran-backed Shia paramilitary group. It has also found that what appear to be Iran-linked operatives are using social media to attempt to recruit individuals to carry out surveillance and potential violence against sites linked to the Jewish community in Europe.
