London arson plot: seven held in crackdown on anti-Semitic attack plan

Seven people have been arrested in connection with an alleged plan to commit arson against the Jewish community in London. Arrests were made across Harpenden, Stevenage, Birmingham and Ealing, with a 39-year-old man later detained under the Terrorism Act for jars found in Kensington Gardens. Investigators are probing possible use of paid proxies in these attacks as part of a wider surge in arson and anti-Semitic incidents in the area.
