An Interpol Red Notice is the closest instrument to an international arrest warrant. It requests provisional arrest of wanted persons, with a view of extradition.

The CBI serves as nodal organisation in the country dealing with matters of Interpol.

City Police Commissioner B K Gupta had claimed that the Iranians had allegedly conducted reconnaissance of the Israeli embassy earlier with the help of an Indian journalist Syed Ahemed Kazmi who was arrested on March six.

The police had claimed that the module, which attacked the Israeli embassy car on February 13 on Aurangazeb road injuring a mission employee and three others, had recceed the mission office way back in May last year before returning to check again in January and February.

Investigators claimed they tracked Kazmi after the arrest of Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, the operational head of the module which carried out the attack in Bangkok, in Malaysia.
