The Iranian link to the recent blast in an Israel embassy car here unraveled on Wednesday with the Delhi Police arresting an Indian freelance journalist allegedly working for Iranian media outlets.
The police have charged the accused, Syed Mohammed Kazmi, with helping the bomber conduct reconnaissance of the Israeli embassy several times and keeping tabs on the movement of Israeli diplomats.
Kazmi was picked up from his Jor Bagh residence here on Tuesday night and arrested under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act for allegedly extending help to the terrorist who stuck the magnet bomb on the Israeli diplomat's car of Israeli diplomat.
His arrest came after investigators picked up leads that he had been in touch with the alleged bomber. A search was also carried out at his native place in Meerut.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Iran for both incidents. "Iran, which is behind these attacks, is the greatest exporter of terrorism in the world. The Israeli government and its security forces will continue to work together with local security services against these terrorist actions."
