Finally, for the first time the Indian government has admitted that the attack on Israeli embassy car yesterday was a terror strike. "The attack on Israeli embassy car yesterday was a terror strike and carried out by a very well-trained person," Home Minister P Chidambaram said on Tuesday. Vide Source:tv9
After holding a meeting attended by Home Secretary RK Singh, Special Secretary (Internal Security) Ajay Chadha, National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon, Intelligence Bureau chief N Sandhu and other senior MHA officials, Home Minister Chidambaram said "It's quite clear that a very well-trained person committed this attack. There are reasons to believe that target was Israeli diplomat's wife. We have to proceed on the basis that it was a terror attack. Teams have been deployed to trace the motorcycle rider. I am not pointing finger at any particular organisation. Whoever did it we condemn it strongly."
The Home Minister said that eyewitnesses told investigators that a single person on a red motorcycle planted the stick-on bomb on the car, which exploded after five seconds. The motorcycle rider attached a magnetic device to the Israeli embassy car while it was waiting at a red light and a few seconds later the explosion took place, injuring four people including the wife of Israel's Defence Attaché. He said that the diplomat's wife seems to have been the clear target but refused to name any terror group for carrying out the strike. Police have examined CCTV footage from the area, including that from Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's residence and the Israeli embassy, but the motorcycle number is not visible in any of the footage.
Sources say the bomb was as big as a human palm, most probably a self triggering device that worked without a remote control. Investigators are surprised that the fuel tank of the car didn't explode, indicating the incendiary nature of the explosive. Police is looking for the red-coloured motorcycle, which was possibly stolen, used to carry out the attack. Investigators have also intensified checking at hotels in the city.
