UK counter-terrorism officers have arrested two more people, a 19-year-old and a 26-year-old, in Watford over an alleged plot to set fire to a Jewish venue. Both remain in custody, bringing total arrests to nine. Police suspect Iran-linked criminal proxies may be paying people to carry out attacks targeting Britain's Jewish community.
