Two Watford men and a 16-year-old have been charged in connection with an attempted arson attack on a Persian media organisation.
Oisin McGuinness, 21, Nathan Dunn, 19, both from Watford, and a 16-year-old boy from North London, who are all British nationals, have been charged with arson with intent to endanger life.
It was reported that at around 8.30pm on Wednesday (April 15) an “ignited container” had been thrown into the outlet's premises in Wembley and landed in the car park.

The suspects left the area in a black SUV before an armed police vehicle, which was in the area, spotted a vehicle matching the description.
They began a pursuit which ended in a crash in Ballards Lane, Barnet.
