Israeli Embassy in London Target of Foiled Iranian Terror Plot

The Israeli Embassy in London was the target of a terror plot by five Iranian nationals who were arrested by British police last weekend, according to people familiar with the matter.

The five men were detained on Saturday on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act, in an operation led by the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terror Command. The arrests related to a plot targeting a specific site, the Met said, declining to name the location for “operational reasons.”
