Global Manhunt for Suspects in Stabbing of Iranian Journalist in London
The suspects fled the UK hours after the attack, sparking an international investigation amid concerns over threats to journalists.
- Three suspects believed to be involved in the stabbing of Iranian journalist Pouria Zeraati in London have fled the UK within hours of the attack.
- The global manhunt has been launched for the suspects, believed to be part of a 'hit squad', with counter-terrorism police leading the investigation.
- The motive behind the attack remains unclear, but it is being investigated as part of a counter-terrorism probe due to Zeraati's role as a journalist and previous threats to UK-based Iranian journalists.
- Iran International, where Zeraati works, has been targeted by the Iranian government, which has declared the media outlet a terrorist organization.
- The UK and international partners are working together to track down the suspects, as concerns over threats to journalists and dissidents on UK soil increase.
