UK counter-terrorism police are investigating a series of targeted attacks against Pakistani dissidents living in Britain, authorities confirmed on Friday.
The incidents, which occurred in multiple locations, are being treated as potentially politically motivated. Police said the victims were known activists critical of authorities in their home country.
No arrests have been announced, but investigators said they are examining links between the attacks and possible foreign interference.
Community leaders expressed concern and urged authorities to ensure the safety of at-risk individuals.
The government said it takes the protection of political freedom seriously and will pursue all lines of inquiry.
