Although it's not yet in the news (as of this writing), I understand that the Aish building in the London suburb of Hendon was torched last night. According to a friend of mine who works there, shortly after the guards left the building (presumably after the end of davening), the culprits entered, slashed the sifrei Torah inside, and then set fire to the building at three separate points.
Driving past the building tonight, it was clear the building was still standing, although it was impossible to see much more from the street. However, something had clearly happened: the street was cordoned off and a police car was stationed outside.
More details to follow, if / when they come in.
UPDATE: Story here.
