Jerusalem: Iran was
behind a car bomb attack on Israeli officials in New Delhi and a
thwarted attack in Georgian capital Tbilisi, Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday.
Netanyahu said Israel will not cease its fight against
international terror, of which he identified Iran as the "world's
greatest exporter", haaretz.com reported.
A car belonging to the Israeli embassy was gutted after an
explosion Monday in a high-security zone in the Indian capital.
Four people, including the wife of an Israeli diplomat, were
injured, police said.
An attempted attack on the Israeli embassy in Tbilisi was foiled
when an employee discovered a car fitted with an explosive device
near the diplomatic mission, Israel Radio reported.
According to the Jerusalem Post, the employee called police who
neutralised the explosive device.
Speaking after the attacks, Netanyahu blamed recent attempts on
Israeli officials abroad on "Iran and its client Hezbollah".
Standing behind Monday's attacks was "Iran, the world's greatest
exporter of terror", Netanyahu said.
"In the last few months we have witnessed several attempts to
target Israeli citizens and Jews in a series of countries, such as
Azerbaijan and Thailand.
"In all of these cases we were able to thwart these attacks in
cooperation with local forces," he said.
"The Israeli government and its security services will continue,
with local security, to act against the international terror which
Iran produces," the prime minister said.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman said Israel will not tolerate
an attack on its officials abroad.
The "attacks against Israeli embassies abroad... just means that
the state of Israel and its citizens face a daily threat of
terror, both physical and diplomatic", he said.
