17-year-old charged with arson attack on synagogue in north-west London

A 17-year-old British national from Brent has been charged with arson after an attack on Kenton United Synagogue in Harrow, north-west London. The teenager, who cannot be named due to his age, is due to appear at Westminster magistrates court on Tuesday. Video footage showed a figure throwing a firebomb through a window late on Saturday. The Community Security Trust reported minor smoke damage but no injuries. The attack is the latest in a series of incidents targeting Jewish sites in London since March, with a suspected Iran-backed group claiming responsibility.
