Iran’s Quds Force Linked to Blast Near Israel Embassy in Delhi, Reports Say
NEW DELHI Investigators in India have concluded that the Quds Force of Iran’s terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps was behind a bomb blast that occurred outside the Israeli Embassy in Delhi in late January, Indian media have reported.
Indian counterterrorism agencies have concluded that an improvised explosive device was planted by a local Indian Shia group under the guidance of the Iranian Quds Force, according to the Indian daily Hindustan Times on March 8.
The bomb that went off outside the Israeli Embassy on Jan. 29 was of very low intensity, was remotely controlled, didn’t have human targets, and shattered the windows of three cars parked nearby, investigators said.
The Iranian embassy said it "strongly repudiates any unsubstantiated allegations or irresponsible comments in this regard and considers them as steps towards realising the sinister intentions of the enemies of Iran-India relations”.
