Nathan Dunn, a 19-year-old British teenager, pleaded guilty on Friday to reckless arson at the offices of Volant Media in northwest London. The attack occurred in April when an ignited container was thrown towards the premises, but fortunately caused no damage or injuries as it landed in a car park and extinguished itself. The device was allegedly linked to a suspicious vehicle that had been denied entry to the site earlier. Dunn's co-defendants, a 21-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy, are also involved in the case.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
