Israeli diplomats were targeted by bomb attacks in Delhi and Tbilisi on Monday, officials said, with two people injured in the Indian capital when an embassy car exploded in a ball of fire. The car which blew up in a high security area of central Delhi, a short distance from the Israeli embassy and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's official residence, was badly burnt.
Police in the Georgian capital defused an explosive device found in the car of an Israeli embassy employee, the ex-Soviet state's interior ministry said. Ravi Singh, a petrol pump attendant who was standing on the other side of the road from the Delhi blast, said: "There was a huge explosion. There was a woman and a driver in the car which was burning and the women was dragged out."
Israeli embassy spokesman in New Delhi David Goldfarb said that one of the injured occupants of the car was an Israeli diplomat but declined to comment further.
