Stuge Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Bombers targeted staff at Israel's embassies in India and Georgia on Monday, the foreign ministry said, with a bomb going off in New Delhi but a second device in Tbilisi defused. Indian police said a bomb hit an embassy car and wounded a woman. She was not immediately identified and related stories Georgia defuses bomb in Israeli embassy car there was no word on her condition. "There was one attempted attack, and one successful, as it were," said Paul Hirschson, a spokesman for Israel's foreign ministry. "In both cases, the people concerned worked with the Israeli embassies." He also confirmed that a bomb had been found in a car belonging to a staffer at the embassy in the Georgian capital Tbilisi, which was defused by local police. Hirschson said the Israeli ambassador to India was not hurt in the New Delhi attack. Israel had put its foreign missions on especially high alert ahead of the Feb 12 anniversary of the assassination, in 2008, of the military mastermind of Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas, linked to the Shi'ite Islamist group Hezbollah, Imad Moughniyeh. Iranian-backed Hezbollah had vowed to avenge Moughniyeh's death in a Damascus car-bombing, blaming it on Israel. Israelis had also warned of possible reprisals ordered by Tehran for the assassination of several scientists involved in Iran's controversial nuclear programme. No-one has claimed responsibility for the Iran killings.
1983-2011 Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 The Israeli prime minister has accused Iran of being behind car bombings in India and Georgia. Explosive devises were attached to cars belonging to the Israeli embassies in Tbilisi and New Delhi.
Yoda-esque Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Iran in the 70s Afghanistan in the 80s Pakistan in the 2000s India Next ???
Texy Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 don't need any foreign agent to carry this out...we have plenty of home grown sympathizers born and bred in India... How do you think the pakis had the knowledge of the residents of Chabad House?
surajmal Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Must have been Iranian agents Iran has no reason to throw a wrench in its relations with India (since India along with Russia and China are the only countries batting for Iran at the international stage). Its a Paki job through and through (my suspicion). They benefit the most as this kind of an act put doubts in India's relations with both Israel and Iran.
surajmal Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Although, the conspiracy nut in me, says that this is a false flag operation. Israel and Americans are very eager to attack Iran. Where have we seen this story before?
Trichromatic Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Slightly off-topic : why is star news showing blurred face of witness in one report and clear face in next report?
Clarke Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Interesting to see whether the internal investigations bear any fruit, that's one field where lots of progress needs to be made. Iran in the 70s Afghanistan in the 80s Pakistan in the 2000s India Next ??? In what sense ? Rise in religious extremism ? If yes, Saffron or Green ?
Lurker Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 This should be an interesting development for South Block. Iran is fully capable of doing this. If it is okay for Israel to kill Irani Scientists it is fair game for Iran to do so as well. On the other hand Iran needs India desperately from drastic measures like getting attacked. So why would they jeopardise their relationship with India for something small as this??
Clarke Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 ^^ Either side (Iran/Israel) needs India more than vice versa. If the evidence points to one of them, they need to be warned not to drag their battles to our turf.

Iconoclast Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Wouldn't be surprised if the Israeli's did it themselves
1983-2011 Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 New Delhi: Iran on Monday rubbished Israeli accusations about its alleged involvement in attacks on Israeli personnel in India and Georgia, saying they are "untrue and sheer lies." "Any terrorist attack is condemned (by Iran) and we strongly reject the untrue comments by an Israeli official," Iran's Ambassador to India Seyed Mehdi Nabizadeh told IRNA, the Iranian news agency. "These accusations are untrue and sheer lies, like previous times." http://www.ndtv.com/article/world/iran-denies-role-in-israel-embassy-car-explosion-175987
Clarke Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Do you really want me to answer that? Yeah i'm super naive @ topic, let me/us know, what you're expecting and the reasons for the same.
Yoda-esque Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Yeah i'm super naive @ topic' date=' let me/us know, what you're expecting and the reasons for the same.[/quote'] I can see where you want me to go and I am not going there. Try reading some newspapers and by that I mean the Hindu not the TOI:winky:

Yoda-esque Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 Why hint at something if you are not gonna go there? That wasn't a hint.It was a statement.
KhanSaab Posted February 14, 2012 Posted February 14, 2012 That wasn't a hint.It was a statement. statement about what?
