A terror attack on two Jewish men in Golders Green has disrupted the local election campaign. Labour and the Lib Dems have suspended local campaigning, while Nigel Farage visited the area. Security Minister Dan Jarvis announced a £25 million boost for police patrols in Jewish communities. The government will also 'fast track' new anti-terror powers to ban state-backed groups like Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps after the king's speech on May 13. The suspect, a 45-year-old British national born in Somalia, is believed to be linked to an earlier attack in Borough. Two Jewish men, Shilome Rand and Moshe Shine, remain in hospital in stable condition. Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, an Iranian-linked Islamist group, has claimed responsibility for the stabbings.
