Indian police make Iran link to New Delhi bomb and Bangkok explosions

Source: AP

Indian police have said a bomb attack that wounded an Israeli diplomat's wife in New Delhi last month is connected to a series of explosions in Bangkok on the same day.

Israel has accused Iran of orchestrating those plots as well as a failed bombing in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, all of which were suspected of targeting Israeli diplomats. Iran has denied any involvement.

Indian authorities had previously declined to implicate Iran in the New Delhi attack on 13 February that wounded the diplomat's wife and three others with a bomb attached to her car by a magnet. However, they said the investigation is increasingly centering on Iranians and people with ties to Iran.

Last week, police arrested an Indian freelance journalist who reportedly worked for Iranian news organisations. Earlier this week, they issued arrest warrants for three Iranian men who had left the country.

it is still not our (as in U.S.) problem. If Israel wants to start shit (or Iran wants to start shit with Israel) it is not our problem.

6. You do realize that the constitution has flaws right?

Such as the flaw with the right to bear arms for example, I am willing to bet the founding fathers would rewrite that one now if they had known about things like semi automatic rifles or then there is the flaw regarding slavery and women not being allowed to vote both of which took time to resolve.

India police are not crackerjack but like a broken clock they are right sometimes.
Mossad and CIA and (other alphabets) do these things and blame it on someone else, much too often.
Iran has a right to be ticked off and they also have a right to protect themselves and see above that is the way the game is played now.
Everyone wants to be able to steal their oil and we know what the West will do to accomplish that.

So it is not my problem nor do I think it is my governments problem but unfortunately I feel it soon will be my grandchildrens problem too.

For example Masoud Sedaghatzadeh will soon be heading back to Thailand where he will face a reasonable sentence in Thailand if he cooperates or spend the rest of his life in a Thai jail cell for saying nothing.
