British prosecutors said on Friday that they have charged three men in connection with an arson attack last month on Jewish community ambulances in north London.

The three men have been charged with arson with intent to damage property and being reckless as to whether life would be endangered, the prosecutors said.

The Metropolitan Police said separately that, at this stage, the incident has not been declared as terrorism, but due to the circumstances of the incident the investigation is being led by counter-terrorism officers.
