"Counterterrorism Investigation: Suspects Flee U.K. After Brutal Stabbing of Iranian Journalist"

Three suspects in the stabbing of Iranian presenter Pouria Zeraati fled the U.K. shortly after the attack, prompting a counterterrorism investigation by British police. Zeraati, a presenter at Iran International, was stabbed outside his London home, and while the motive remains unclear, his occupation and recent threats to U.K.-based Iranian journalists triggered the investigation. Police have disrupted "a number" of plots targeting enemies of the Iranian government in the U.K. and are working with international partners to establish further details about the suspects' whereabouts.
