Israel justifies suspicions of Iranian hand in Delhi car blast

Israel today justified its suspicions of an Iranian hand in the February 13 Delhi car bomb blast, seriously injuring one of their diplomats, saying those arrested or had warrants issued against them were all from that country.

"We are waiting still to see the final result. We said all the time we believe Iran is behind it and it is the same in Bangkok and other places. And we found we are right because people who are arrested or had warrants against them are Iranians," Orna Sagiv, Israel Consul General told reporters on the sidelines of a function here.

Asked whether she was happy with the pace at which the investigation was progressing in the case, she said, "Yes, we are happy."

"Let's see what happens. I mean it (investigation) has not finished yet," she said, to a query on Israel's future course of action in this case.

Tal Yehoshua, an Israeli woman diplomat, suffered spine and liver injuries when a magnetic bomb went off in her car in Delhi on February 13. She left for her home country on February 17 after treatment.
