UK: Four men have pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey to setting fire to four Hatzola ambulances in Golders Green in March, in an attack prosecutors say deliberately targeted the Jewish community. Hamza Iqbal, 20, Rehan Khan, 19, Judex Atshatshi, 18, and Saif Ali, 18, admitted arson charges over the attack, which caused around £1 million of damage and also damaged a nearby synagogue and flats. Prosecutor Leo Seelig said he will submit to the sentencing judge the attack had a "terrorist connection", but the court heard this is denied by all four men. All four have been remanded in custody and are expected to be sentenced in spring 2027. Join EJN:
