Scottish counter-terrorism police charge a man following alleged attacks in Edinburgh that investigators say appeared to target Muslims. Reports across outlets say five people are injured in the incidents, which include stabbing attacks. The suspect is charged with five counts of attempted murder, and police treat the case as terrorism-linked, according to multiple summaries. Coverage also says CCTV footage is used as part of the investigation and that the attacks occur across parts of Edinburgh, including areas such as Leith and the west of the city. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer is cited as saying the suspect appears motivated by anti-Muslim hatred. Scotland’s First Minister John Swinney meets some of the victims after the alleged attacks, as reflected in the Scotsman report. Several outlets describe injuries as non-life-threatening, though reporting varies on medical details. Police and prosecutors are expected to progress the case through the court process while the investigation continues.
