“Express Exclusive: Call details of Bangkok bombers led cops to Israel Embassy attacker”
VijaitaSingh : New Delhi, Fri Mar 16 2012, 14:29 hrs
SNIPPET: “The Delhi Police figured out the conspiracy behind the recent attack on an Israeli Embassy car by studying call details of the Bangkok bombers, who reportedly belong to the same Iranian module that planned assaults on Israeli targets in New Delhi, Georgia and Bangkok last month.
The Bangkok attack failed as the bombs, stored in a house in a busy locality, detonated accidentally.
Police sources said Houshang Afshar Irani, one of the Iranian suspects against whom warrants have been issued by a Delhi court, was in touch with one of the suspects arrested in Bangkok in the botched terror attempt.
Analysis of call details show Irani’s local contact was Urdu journalist Mohammad Ahmad Kazmi, who was arrested on March 7 for his alleged role in the conspiracy.
Police said Kazmi was well aware of the plan.”

The Press Trust of India reports Indian authorities Saturday issued an arrest warrant for Masoud Sedaghatzadeh.

“Bangkok bomber was in India”
Neeraj Chauhan,TNN | Mar 22, 2012, 06.52AM IST
SNIPPET: “In April last year, when the bomber, Seyed Ali Mahdian Sadr, was surveying Bangkok for probable terror targets, another accused Afshar Irani was in Delhi on a one-month recce. Later, Sadr travelled to Delhi to join Afshar who had already bought a scooty to recce the capital. They fixed their target as Israeli diplomat , Tal Yehoshua Koren, and returned to Tehran.
Investigators also learnt that the operational head of the module, Sedaghatzadeh Masoud, who is now in Malaysian custody, is the youngest among the Iranian bombers and his passport had been issued by Tehran last year - just days before the terror blueprint was laid.”
SNIPPET: “Official sources say Sadr is the link between the Delhi and Bangkok blasts. He was also instrumental in convincing journalist S M A Kazmi to help them in their India operations.
Sadr, a resident of Tehran, had first paid $5,500 to Kazmi when he went to Iran in February 2011. He got his passport (J14922614) issued from Iran on December 25, 2008 while his Thai visa, of which TOI has a copy, shows Sadr travelled there in April 2011 (issue date of Thai visa - April 12, 2011). At the end of April, he got an Indian tourist visa for a month-long stay here.
Sources say Sadr went to Bangkok and then probably joined Afshar Irani in New Delhi. Irani, 40, was issued a month-long visa by India on April 25. His passport (I17287444) was issued in January 2010 from Iran.
Indian investigators reportedly do not have records of Mohammad Reza Abolghasemi visiting India or Bangkok in April 2011 but say that he came to India in January this year on 15 day tourist visa to help Sadr and Irani to conduct a reccee and assisted them in assembling the bomb. Sources say that the explosive was smuggled into India by the Iranians.”

INTERPOL issues Red Notices seeking arrest of four suspects in New Delhi car bomb attack targeting Israeli officials
LYON, France – INTERPOL, acting on a request from India’s Central Bureau of Investigation, has issued Red Notices for four suspects wanted in connection with the 13 February bomb attack on an Israeli diplomat’s car in New Delhi.
Details of the suspects Mohammadreza Abolghashemi, Houshang Afshar Irani, Seyed Ali Mahdiansadr and Masoud Sedaghatzadeh who are all wanted for terrorism related offences including criminal conspiracy and attempted murder, have been transmitted to INTERPOL’s 190 member countries.
The attack left a 42-year-old female diplomat with serious injuries and also wounded her driver and two bystanders.
INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble said India’s request for the Red Notices would make it extremely difficult for the suspects to travel internationally in an attempt to evade capture.
“Through requesting INTERPOL Red Notices, India has ensured that law enforcement officials around the globe are alerted to the wanted status of these fugitives, and therefore reduces their options for international travel,” said Mr Noble.
“INTERPOL is uniquely placed to ensure that vital police information and support are made available to the global law enforcement community when and where it is needed,” concluded the head of INTERPOL.
INTERPOL Red Notices serve to communicate to the world’s police that a suspect is wanted by a member country and request that the suspect be placed under provisional arrest pending extradition.
INTERPOL will not comment further on the Red Notices that were issued today. All enquiries concerning the charges and suspects should be directed to the India’s Central Bureau of Investigation in New Delhi.

“Iranian bomber engaged escorts”
TNN | Mar 26, 2012, 05.16AM IST
SNIPPET: “NEW DELHI: Investigators probing the Israeli embassy car bombing are on the lookout for women escorts engaged by Iranian bomber Houshang Afshar Irani during his visits to the capital this year .
Sources in Delhi Police said they were also on the lookout for the person, who helped him engage the escorts. Police want to know more about Irani by interrogating them even as they believe the women were not involved in the plot.
Irani, accused of carrying out the attack on Israeli diplomat Tal Yahoshua Koren on Aurangzeb Road, had met a person in central Delhi after procuring his phone number from an advertisement in a newspaper, which claimed to provide escorts.
Police got a lead in the case from the staff of a hotel in central Delhi. Call details of the accused also corroborated what the hotel staff told cops. An Interpol Red Corner notice has been issued against Irani.”
