'Heavy threats' before Iran TV host stabbing

Terror cops probe London attack

- PATRICK HILL

THE stabbing of an Iranian TV host in London on Friday is said to have followed chilling threats sent to his UK-based station.

Pouria Zeraati was attacked outside his Wimbledon home by two men.

As he recovered in hospital from slash wounds yesterday, Met Police counterterrorism officers were investigating the incident amid fears it was motivated by his work for Iran International, a target of the Tehran regime.
