Israel’s Ambassador to India Ron Malka on Saturday said there were enough reasons to believe that the blast outside the country’s embassy in Delhi was a terrorist attack, PTI reported. He, however, said that the incident was not surprising as they were on alert for the past few weeks following intelligence agency inputs.
A minor IED blast took place outside the Israeli Embassy in the heart of Lutyens’ Delhi on Friday evening, police said on Friday. No one was injured.
Some cars were damaged in the blast, an official said, adding that three fire tenders were rushed to the embassy on APJ Abdul Kalam Road.
“A very low intensity improvised device went off. No injury to any person was reported and nor was there any damage to property except the glass panes of three vehicles parked nearby,” Delhi Police Additional PRO Anil Mittal said.
He said initial impressions suggest it could be a mischievous attempt to create a sensation.
