NEW: The 'terror' group supporting Iranian sabotage attacks across Europe. Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (HAYI) says it is responsible for the arson attack in North London, as well as a number of other small-scale attacks across Europe this month. HAYI is operating in support of the regime through Telegram channels where it claims to be the “European Frontier” for “the Islamic right-wing movement”. The group's Telegram profile was only created on Saturday and has since claimed responsibility for seven attacks across Europe, issuing a warning for an eighth in Paris. British security agencies believe Iran could be behind the Golders Green attack, which came just weeks after UK security sources warned of a rise in “gig-economy” Iranian spies offered cash for operations across Europe. w/@sanyaburgess and @janemerrick23 inews.co.uk/news/telegram-…
