UK Counter-Terror Police Probe Arson at Former London Synagogue

British counter-terrorism police are investigating a deliberate arson attack on a former synagogue in London, just days after the national terror threat level was raised to 'severe'. The incident occurred early Tuesday in Tower Hamlets, causing minor damage but no casualties. It comes amid a surge in antisemitic attacks in the city, prompting Prime Minister Keir Starmer to fast-track new legislation.
