Counter-terrorism investigators are examining three separate arson attacks in London against an Iranian dissident and Jewish targets amid fears the Iranian state may be behind them.

The latest attack happened at about 8.30pm on Wednesday, against the offices of the parent group of a company that runs Iran International, a Persian news channel that opposes the regime in Tehran.
