| − | '''The Israeli Embassy in London''' was subjected to a bombing attack on 26 July 1994, eight days after the [[1994 AMIA bombing|AMIA bombing]] in Argentina. A car bomb exploded outside the embassy, injuring 20 people. The bomb comprised about 20 to 30 pounds of explosive, and blew up minutes after the driver left it.

| − | The Israeli Ambassador and British intelligence experts blamed pro-Iranian extremists, allegedly linked to [[Hezbollah]]. Thirteen hours later a similar car bomb exploded outside Balfour House, the headquarters of the main [[:Category:Zionism|Zionist]] organisation in London, injuring six.

| − | Five Palestinians were arrested in London in January 1995 in connection with the bombings. In December 1996, two of them, both Palestinian science graduates who were educated in the UK, [[Jawad Botmeh]] and [[Samar Alami]], were convicted of "conspiracy to cause explosions". They were sentenced to 20 years in jail, and lost their appeal in 2001. Nobody has been convicted for the actual bombings.

| − | [[Jawad Botmeh]] was released from prison on 5 August 2008. [[Samar Alami]] was released in June 2009 and deported to Lebanon. Both continue to protest their complete innocence of any crime. Their UK solicitor [[Gareth Pierce]] is also quite emphatic about their innocence and that their case represents a gross miscarriage of justice<ref>[http://www.anniemachon.com/annie_machon/the-israeli-embassy-two-a-gross-miscarriage-of-justice.html The Israeli Embassy Two - a gross miscarriage of justice] - Annie Machon blog June 2011</ref>, as did campaigning journalist, the late Paul Foot.<ref>[http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/oct/12/law.features11 The Extraordinary Campaigner] - The Guardian 12 October 2004. "The world will be a less just place without the tireless campaigning of Paul Foot"</ref> Annie Machon, ex-MI5 officer, believes that the two were framed, probably by [[Mossad]], as a means of stemming sympathy for the Palestinian cause.
