据英国警方消息,一名青少年已因与3月份一起针对犹太慈善机构救护车的纵火袭击有关的罪名被起诉,成为该袭击案中第五名被起诉的人员。
3月份的火灾发生在伦敦北部拥有大量犹太人口的戈尔德斯格林地区,大火吞噬了哈佐拉西北区急救组织的四辆救护车,该组织是一家在该社区提供医疗服务的犹太志愿者团体。

伦敦大都会警察局在周二的一份声明中公布,第五名涉案男子是18岁的英国公民苏班·艾哈迈德,他被指控“协助罪犯”。
其他据称涉案的男子分别为20岁的哈姆扎·伊克巴尔、19岁的雷汉·汗、18岁的朱德克斯·阿特沙奇,以及一名因法律规定未满18岁而不得公开姓名的17岁少年。所有人均被指控“犯有纵火罪,毁坏或损坏财产,且对生命是否会受到威胁持放任态度”。
五名男子的审判日期定于2027年1月。
反恐警方正在将这起火灾作为反犹太仇恨犯罪进行调查,并正在调查一个据称与伊朗有关联的组织宣称对该事件负责的说法。
袭击发生后,该组织的一名成员在接受哥伦比亚广播公司新闻采访时表示,该组织名为“哈卡拉特·阿沙卜·阿尔-亚明·伊斯兰亚”,即“正义伙伴伊斯兰运动”,他们将持续威胁全球的美国和以色列利益,直到我们为加沙、伊朗、黎巴嫩以及抵抗运动国家的每一名儿童复仇为止。
近几个月来,英国首都已经发生了一系列反犹太袭击事件,包括针对犹太会堂和其他犹太场所的纵火袭击。4月下旬,戈尔德斯格林发生一起持刀袭击事件,造成两名男子受伤,该事件被定性为恐怖主义袭击。
“这太令人恐惧了,”一名同样要求匿名的东正教犹太居民在袭击发生后告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,“我不敢相信现在发生的一切。我们必须生活在恐惧之中——时刻回头张望,担心有人会持刀袭击我们……就算我们离开这里,又能去哪里?到处都有人企图袭击我们。”
近期欧洲的反犹太事件也有所增加,包括阿姆斯特丹一所犹太学校外发生爆炸事件,以及4月份比利时列日和荷兰鹿特丹的犹太会堂外遭遇袭击。
今年3月,两名男子因涉嫌为伊朗在伦敦对犹太人进行“敌意”监视而被起诉,法国官员则挫败了一起针对犹太目标的疑似恐怖袭击阴谋。

A teenager has been charged in connection with an arson attack on a Jewish charity’s ambulances in March, according to U.K. police, becoming the fifth person to be charged over the attack.
The March blaze in Golders Green, an area in north London with a large Jewish population, engulfed four ambulances belonging to Hatzola Northwest, a Jewish volunteer organization that provides medical care in the neighborhood.

In a statement Tuesday, London’s Metropolitan Police named the fifth man as British 18-year-old Subhan Ahmed, who was charged with “assisting an offender.”
The other men allegedly involved in the incident are 20-year-old Hamza Iqbal, 19-year-old Rehan Khan, 18-year-old Judex Atshatshi and a 17-year-old boy who can’t be named for legal reasons because he is under 18. All were charged with “committing arson destroying or damaging property being reckless as to whether life would be endangered.”
The five men have a trial date set for January 2027.
Counterterror police are investigating the fire as an antisemitic hate crimeand looking into claims of responsibility by a group allegedly connected to Iran.
Speaking to CBS News after the incident, a member of the group – known as Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, or The Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Righteous – said they would keep threatening U.S. and Israeli interests worldwide until we’ve avenged every child in Gaza, Iran, Lebanon, and the resistance nations.”
The British capital has seen a string of antisemitic attacks in recent months, including arson targeting synagogues and other Jewish sites. In late April, two men were wounded in a stabbing attack in Golders Green that was declared a terrorist incident.
“It’s utter horror,” an Orthodox Jewish resident, who also asked to remain anonymous, told CBS News after the attack. “I can’t believe what’s going on. We have to live in fear — constantly looking behind our backs, wondering if someone might attack us with a knife … and even if we leave, where do we go? There are people trying to attack us everywhere.”
Europe has also seen a recent rise in antisemitic incidents, including an explosion outside a Jewish school in Amsterdam and attacks outside synagogues in Liege, Belgium, and Rotterdam in The Netherlands in April.
In March, two men were charged with carrying out “hostile” surveillance of Jews in London for Iran, and officials in France foiled a suspected terror plot on Jewish targets.
