FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
A man carrying an Iranian passport lost a leg when a bomb he was carrying in
Bangkok went off on Tuesday after an earlier explosion, apparently
accidental, at a house he was renting. His other leg had to be amputated.
The suspect, identified as Saeid Moradi, was in stable condition in a Bangkok
hospital, although he remained unconscious after 10 hours of surgery, said
hospital surgeon Suparung Preechayuth.
Police said he had been charged with illegal possesion of explosives, causing
explosions, attempted murder and assaulting a police officer.
The American, British and Australian embassies in Bangkok told their citizens
to be vigilant in light of the explosions but did not advise against travel
to the capital.
A day earlier in the Indian capital, a bomb wrecked a car taking an Israeli
embassy official to pick up her children from school, police said. The woman
was in stable condition on Wednesday after surgery to her spine and liver.

Her driver and two passers-by suffered lesser injuries in the attack which
police believe was also a botched job.
The motorbike rider who stuck the bomb on to the car put it on the opposite
side to the petrol tank – if it had been on the tank side it would have been
a bigger blast and likely caused fatalities. Media said five people had been
detained for questioning.
Iran’s ambassador to India dismissed allegations of involvement in the
bombing, saying Israel often made such accusations.
“We are not accepting, we are denying this and I don’t know how they can
assume within a short time of one hour that to say who has done this. It has
happened in India. If India’s security says something like that then we have
to verify,” Seyed Mehdi Nabizadeh told reporters.
“This is the real fact and it is not even under consideration. Really, it
is that they are always telling such a thing.”
Delhi police spokesman Rajan Bhagat confirmed that the blast there was caused
by a “sticky bomb”. He said witnesses saw a lone motorbike rider
attach the device to the right rear side of the car in which an Israeli
diplomat’s wife, who also works at the embassy, was travelling.
“This is the first time that this modus operandi has been seen in India,”
Bhagat told Reuters. “We don’t yet have the evidence to point the
finger at anybody. We are exploring all possibilities.”
On the same day, an attempt to bomb an Israeli embassy car in Tbilisi failed
and the device was defused, Israeli and Georgian officials said.
India has good relations with both Iran and Israel, so the attack makes its
diplomatic balancing act between the two countries all the more difficult
and has thrust the mounting tension between the Middle East rivals on to its
doorstep.
Israel is the second-largest supplier of arms to India. But India is Iran’s
biggest oil buyer, relying on it for about 12 percent of its needs, and it
is Iran’s top supplier of rice.
India’s Economic Times questioned why Iran would take the risk of launching an
attack in India.
“The idea that Iran would want to make India a theatre in its rivalry
with Israel is far-fetched and does not sit well with the track record of
Tehran’s relationship with India,” it said.
Indian media, however, said investigators were scanning records of all
Iranians as well as Lebanese students who arrived in recent months as part
of their investigation.

In the Bangkok attack, one bomb went off in the bombers’ home. Another was
thrown at a taxi that wouldn’t take one of the men who left the house. The
third blew off the man’s leg when he tried to throw it at police and it
either went off before he could throw it or it hit something and ricocheted
back at him.
Two other men shared the rented house with him. One was arrested at Bangkok’s
international airport on Tuesday but he has not yet been charged. A third
man slipped past security at the airport and had fled to Malaysia.
Thai police declined to make any link between Tuesday’s explosions and the
arrest last month of a Lebanese man in Bangkok who, according to the Thai
authorities, had links to Hezbollah.
“From investigation, it appears that the incident is more of an
individual-focused plot rather than targeting landmark areas,” Thai
official Wichian said. “At the moment, we haven’t found any connection
to the Lebanese suspect.”
