Police are investigating whether items found near the Israeli embassy in central London are connected to a video posted by an Iran-linked Islamist group claiming it was going to be attacked.
The Metropolitan Police said officers were assessing “a number of discarded items” in Kensington Gardens, and urged people to avoid the area.
A video, which appears to have been shared by the group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, shows a target over an image of the Israeli embassy and people dressed in hazmat suits flying drones.
Police and the embassy itself said the embassy had not been attacked, but said detectives were carrying out inquiries to determine the authenticity of the video and to identify any potential link between it and the items.
