Indian police on Saturday identified three Iranian suspects in last month's bomb attack on an Israeli diplomat's wife in New Delhi, officials said Saturday. Arrest warrants were issued for the suspects who were allegedly helped by an Indian, Syed Mohammed Ahmad Kazmi, already under arrest.
Tal Yehoshua Koren, wife of an Israeli defence attache, suffered shrapnel injuries in the attack at a traffic light near her embassy in the capital on February 13. "On basis of thorough and meticulous investigations, three Iranians have been identified by the investigating authorities as suspects," Foreign Ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said.
"Investigations in the case are underway and no conclusions can be drawn at this stage." Delhi Police said arrest warrants had been issued for Houshang Afshar Irani, Seyed Ali Mahdiansadr and Mohammadreza Abolghasemi, all in their late 30s. Cash, a car and a bicycle used to scout the areas near the embassy were recovered from Kazmi.
