Iran implisert i New Dehli-attentat på israelsk diplomat

Hans Rustad

Indisk politi har fun­net frem til fem ira­nere som er mis­tenkt for å ha del­tatt i atten­ta­tet mot en isra­elsk diplo­mat i New Dehli. De fem er med­lem av Revolusjonsgarden.

De skal ha stått bak serien av atten­tat mot israe­lere i Geor­gia, Thai­land, India. Det er Times of India, TOI, som mel­der dette.

Hvis bevi­sene stem­mer kan det være med å påvirke Israel til å angripe Iran, om ikke nå, så ved en gitt anledning.

Alle­ging that an Ira­nian state agency was involved in the February 13 bomb attack on an Israeli diplo­mat in the capi­tal, theDelhi Police has con­clu­ded that the sus­pects were mem­bers of Ira­nian Revo­lu­tio­nary Guard Corps, a branch of the nation’s military.The investi­ga­tion report, exclu­sively accessed by TOI, sta­tes that the IRGC mem­bers had discus­sed the plan to attack the Israeli diplo­mats in India and other countries with Indian jour­na­list Syed Mohammad Ahmad Kazmi in January 2011, after Ira­nian scien­tists had been attacked allegedly by the Israe­lis. The cops have also learnt that Kazmi was in touch with these people for almost 10 years.

Details about the sus­pects have been shared with Iran through a let­ter roga­tory. Delhi Police has sought more details of the five IRGC mem­bers, inclu­ding the main bom­ber, Hous­hang Afshar Irani, who men­tions his pro­fes­sion in Iran as a buil­der, Sedag­hat­zadeh Masoud (sales emp­loyee in a com­mer­cial com­pany on Baharestan St, Teh­ran), Syed Ali Mah­di­an­s­adr (a mobile shop­keeper in Teh­ran), Mohammad Reza Abolg­hasemi (clerk in the finance depart­ment of Tehran’s water aut­hority) and Ali Akbar Norou­zis­hayan (a reti­red accoun­tant in Tehran).

Accor­ding to the sources, Masoud is said to be the ope­ra­tio­nal head and it was he who plan­ned the attacks in Geor­gia, Bang­kok and Delhi.

Apart from these five, police have also come across the role of an Ira­nian woman, iden­ti­fied as Leila Rohani, in the February 13 attack in New Delhi as well as the attacks in Bang­kok and Geor­gia, and has sought details about her as well from Iran. Rohani had allegedly hel­ped Ira­nian sus­pects in Bang­kok attack of February 14 in get­ting a flat, after which she fled to Teh­ran.
