Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia claims responsibility for a stabbing in London, raising concerns over its influence.
A stabbing attack on two men in Golders Green, north London, has been claimed by Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI), a group linked to Iran. The claim was made on a Telegram channel shortly after the incident. [source]
The attack, which police are treating as terrorism, occurred at a bus stop and was followed by a statement from HAYI, accompanied by the group’s logo. Investigators are considering the possibility that the claim is opportunistic rather than state-backed. [source]
