Iran-Linked Group Claims Responsibility as ‘Terrorist Incident’ Is Declared in London

Two Jewish people were stabbed in London on Wednesday in what police have labeled a “terrorist incident.”

Metropolitan Police Commissioner Mark Rowley called the stabbing an “attack on British Jews,” according to NBC News.

A report from the BBC said a group linked to Iran called Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya — which means “The Islamic Movement of the People of the Right Hand” — has claimed responsibility for the targeted attack.

The group has said it took part in six other attacks against Jewish-affiliated targets in Britain.

Sir Ephraim Mervis, a rabbi, said the attack sends a clear message all British Jews need to heed.

“I’m sad to say that today’s event proves that if you are visibly Jewish you’re not safe, and far more needs to be done,” he said.
