Police in London say a March 29 stabbing of an Iranian journalist is being investigated by the Counter Terrorism Command, although investigators have not established a motive. A police statement on April 2 said the authorities believe three suspects were involved in the attack, in which self-exiled Persian-language journalist Pouria Zeraati suffered an injury to his leg. The three men abandoned their vehicle shortly after the incident and left the country by air within hours, police said. Zeraati works for Iran International television, which has been critical of Iran's government.
