Counter-terrorism police are investigating a fire at a former synagogue in east London after it is treated as a suspected arson attack. The incident is reported to have occurred early on Tuesday morning, with police called at about 5:16am by the London Fire Brigade following reports of a blaze at a disused synagogue on Nelson Street in Tower Hamlets. The Metropolitan Police say counter-terrorism officers are examining the circumstances of the fire and whether it fits within a wider pattern of attacks on Jewish sites. Multiple outlets describe the fire as being started deliberately, and the investigation is being linked to other deliberately lit fires targeting Jewish locations across the capital. Authorities have not publicly released further details on suspects or confirmed motives. Further information is expected as inquiries continue, including assessments of the site, the cause of the fire, and how it relates to any ongoing incidents reported elsewhere in London.
