Accountability is moving forward for an arson attack on a north-west London synagogue, as a 17-year-old boy admitted guilt. The British teenager, who cannot be named, pleaded guilty on Tuesday to arson not endangering life after throwing an accelerant bottle into Kenton United Synagogue. The attack caused minor smoke damage to an internal room, with no significant structural damage or injuries, and he is bailed until June 4.
