Police checking if London arsons were plotted for weeks

London's recent arson attacks, which police believe were specifically scouted and prepared, are causing increased worry among British Jewish communities. Detectives are investigating if criminals, allegedly paid by Iran, carried out the six incidents since March 23, with counter-terrorism policing now leading the inquiry. Already, 15 people have been taken into custody regarding these attacks.
