New Delhi: The
conspiracy behind the Feb 13 Israeli embassy car bombing here has
an international link, Delhi Police told a city court Thursday
while seeking additional time for the probe.
The links of "the conspiracy were not confined to Indian territory
but these were found spreading abroad", the police told Chief
Metropolitan Magistrate Vinod Yadav.
According to sources, police told the court that they were
collecting information about Iranian suspect Houshang Afshar Irani.
Police claimed Irani was in contact with apprehended journalist
Syed Mohammad Kazmi and had links to a similar blast in an
official Israeli vehicle in Tbilisi in Georgia that also took
place Feb 13, sources said.
The sources said that investigators claimed that Irani was in
contact with Kazmi and the Georgia bombers.
Police claimed that information regarding call details related to
suspects, including Irani, were required to be obtained from
Georgia, Thailand, Malaysia and Iran, they said.
The probe in the case revealed that some suspects arrested from
Malaysia had been in touch with alleged terrorist Irani, the
sources said.
Irani had visited India twice. In his last visit, from Jan 29 to
Feb 13, Irani stayed in a hotel at Karol Bagh in central Delhi,
the police are believed to have told the court.
Police claimed they recovered an explosive device from the ceiling
of Irani's room in the hotel. The device was similar to the bomb
used in the Feb 13 Israeli embassy car bombing, the sources said.
Kazmi was arrested March 6 for his alleged involvement in the
bombing.
Four people were injured when an Israeli embassy car was struck by
a bomb. Tal Yehoshua Koren, 42, wife of Israeli defence attache
Colonel Yossi Refaelov, suffered multiple injuries when a
motorcycle rider attached a magnetic explosive device to her car
and sped away.
