Neturei Karta Shul Vandalized by Jews?

For some reason I find it interesting that JTA paraphrased this story and credited the Hackney Gazette, but did not link to it. What do you call a critical hat-tip? Here's an excerpt:
AN orthodox Jewish synagogue in Stamford Hill has been attacked and vandalised - not by anti-semetic thugs, but by fellow Jews who regard its leaders' outspoken condemnation of Israel as a betrayal.

Rising tensions over the forced evictions by Israeli troops last month of Jewish settlers from occupied Palestinian territory as part of the Middle East peace process has sparked a backlash among Stamford Hill's orthodox Jewish community.

Windows at the synagogue in Alkham Road were smashed after bottles were hurled at them last Thursday evening and the front of the building was covered with red spray paint.
I wonder if I will ever learn how they know that Jews did it. I am not likely to buy a print edition Hackney Gazette.
