00:00After the arson attacks on London's Jewish community, there's been a significant development in the hunt for the individuals suspected
00:08of being behind them.
00:09An Iraqi-Iranian joint national was arrested a couple of weeks ago in Turkey, handed over to the FBI, and
00:17then flown back to America.
00:18In an eight-count indictment, the US Justice Department has now charged Mohammed Bakar Saad Dawood al-Sahdi with a
00:27string of terrorism-related offences after the attacks and attempted attacks on London, other European targets, and the US.
00:35While in US custody, al-Sahdi is alleged to have waived his rights to a lawyer, which may well raise
00:42some eyebrows, but he is alleged to have admitted to engaging in psychological warfare with these attacks.
00:48The first is an arson attack on a synagogue in North London, which al-Sahdi allegedly filmed, and the second
00:56was a propaganda video of an alleged attack on Israel's embassy in London, which was said to have involved a
01:04drone and radioactive materials.
01:07The attack actually did not take place, but the area was cordoned off at the time.
