By David Luhnow

British police are investigating whether a group with suspected links to Iran was responsible for this week's arson attack on a Jewish charity ambulance service in London, part of a wider wave of assaults across Europe since the latest Middle East conflict broke out.

A group calling itself the Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right claimed responsibility for the attack, as well as others in the Netherlands and Belgium. Sir Mark Rowley, head of the Metropolitan Police, said all lines of investigation were being pursued, including whether the group, which he said had "potential Iranian state links," was responsible.
