LONDON, March ‌23 (Reuters) - British police said ​on Monday an attack on Jewish ⁠community ambulances in north London was not being treated as ​a terrorist incident but the investigation ‌would be led by counter terrorism officers.

"While this has not been ⁠declared a terrorist incident ⁠at this stage, the investigation is now being led by counter terrorism policing, with all ‌the specialist expertise they bring ⁠and all lines of ‌inquiry remain open," ​Detective Chief Superintendent Luke Williams said.

He added that while they ‌were aware of an ​online claim ⁠from a group taking responsibility ‌for the ⁠attack, they needed to establish its authenticity and said: "it is not ​something we ‌can confirm at this point".
