Three people have been charged after an attempted arson attack at the offices of a Persian media organisation in London.
Oisin McGuinness, 21, Nathan Dunn, 19, and a 16-year-old boy have been charged with arson with intent to endanger life after an attempted arson attack at the offices of a Persian media organisation in north-west London, the Metropolitan Police said.
Officers on patrol were told at about 8.30pm on Wednesday that an “ignited container” had been thrown towards the site in Wembley, landing in a car park where the fire immediately went out.
It is understood the offices of Volant Media, the parent company of Persian news channel Iran International, were targeted.
There were no injuries and no damage was reported.
The suspects left the area in a black SUV. The fire put itself out and no injuries were reported.
McGuinness has also been charged with dangerous driving.
The three people charged are British nationals and will appear at Westminster Magistrates’ Court later on Friday, Scotland Yard said.
