TERROR ATTACK\\ In a suspected coordinated attack, an Israeli embassy car exploded in front of the embassy in New Delhi. This incident took place right after a bomb was defused in an Israeli embassy vehicle in Tbilisi, the capital of Georgia. An Israeli diplomat, who was inside the car at the time of the blast, suffered splinter injuries and was admitted to a private hospital. According to initial investigation reports, two motorcycle-borne youths, tailing the vehicle in the high security zone, placed ‘something’ in the rear of the car, when it stopped at a traffic signal. Minutes later, there was an explosion and the vehicle burst into flames. The bomb used was of an unusual type—without a timer or detonator. Investigators are awaiting a detailed report by the Central Forensic Lab, and the use of RDX or a nitrate base hasn’t been ruled out. Home Minister P. Chidambaram said that the terror attack was carried out by well trained persons and that the intended target was the Israeli diplomat’s wife. Israel has blamed Iran for this attack, while Iran has denied the allegation.
