An explosion has destroyed an Israeli diplomat’s car in New Delhi, reportedly injuring two people. A bomb targeting the Israeli embassy in Tbilisi has also been defused.
*New Delhi Embassy spokesperson David Goldfarb confirmed the attack.
The car was parked next to the Israeli embassy. Indian officials say the driver and the diplomat’s wife were injured. Israeli foreign ministry has not disclosed the identities of the victims for security reasons.
Indian police report that only the vehicle was affected by the explosion and the New Delhi. The embassy was not damaged.
Georgian authorities confirmed the explosive device was connected to a car that belonged to the Israeli embassy.

*A Georgian interior ministry spokesman says driver noticed the device and called the police. He did not specify where the car was parked.
The double attack comes one day after the fourth anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah's deputy leader Imad Mughniyah.
Last year Israeli embassies around the world received several suspected terror threats on the third anniversary of Mughniyah’s death.

Nobody was killed, two people injured. One bomb in New Delhi was detonated, the other in Tbilisi was defused.
It is what it is.
Not to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but could this have been a Mossad action? If so, then for what reason?

The Israeli prime minister has accused Iran of being behind car bombings in India and Georgia. Explosive devises were attached to cars belonging to the Israeli embassies in Tbilisi and New Delhi.

There is a lot of hate for Israel (both legitimate and not legitimate) in the world , I don't see why there is any reason to believe Mossad is behind this, though there is little doubt Israel will spin this to suit their own agenda, like America did with 9/11.

Another excuse for the Indian authorities to harass minorities under the pretext of 'war on terror'.

The obvious explanation is that this is retaliation for the Mossad assassinations of Iranian nuclear scientists. Its a mistake to target the envoy in India tho because India is one of their main buyers of oil still out there, so it might not be the IRGC. But even the M.O. is similar to those Israeli assassinations!
It is a bad time to be the family of an Iranian nuclear scientist or an Israeli diplomat.

It's possible Iran did it, but I'm kind of doubting it. Israel is trying to drum up support for its possible unilateral strike against Iran. This along with the supposed Iranian assassination attempt on the Saudi ambassador.. really fucking suspicious.
I wouldn't put it past the Mossad.

I wouldn't put it past anyone. The fact is that no one has claimed responsibility, so Israel's cynical use of these attacks must be condemned.

I wouldn't put it past India to do this if the year was 1973. Ever since the overthrow of the USSR, India has become so chummy with Israel it's ridiculous.

Whoever actually did it is irrelevant. Iran is getting the blame regardless. Unless the actual perpetrators come forward.
This won't be the excuse for action against Iran. However, it will be more kindling thrown onto the fire in order to label Iran as an aggressive nation, hell bent on destroying Israel/America.
So, the show goes on. Let's see what is in store for us in the next episode of this drama we call international politics.

An allegedly Iranian man apparently blew off his legs in Thailand after a grenade he was throwing at police bounced back to him. This being after he injured some people with a grenade.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17026007
A man thought to be Iranian has had both legs blown off after attempting to throw a bomb at police in the Thai capital, Bangkok, officials say.
Two other explosions were reported in the same busy commercial district of the city, injuring four other people.
Police said one blast took place at the house the injured man rented with other Iranians. One of those men also threw a bomb at a taxi in the capital.
Last month, the US embassy warned of possible attacks in Bangkok.
The warning over possible attacks last month was of attacks perhaps against Israeli and American interests, and a man has been arrested in connection with those and some materials were found.
The Bangkok blasts come just a day after two bomb attacks targeted Israeli diplomats in India and Georgia.
Israel has accused Iran and Lebanon's Hezbollah of orchestrating the attacks. Iran denied the allegations.
There is no sign of who the attackers in Bangkok might have been targeting, but the timing and the link to Iran will raise suspicions that this might be part of a co-ordinated campaign, says BBC security correspondent Gordon Corera.
'Further attacks feared' Israel's press says the attacks on embassy staff in India and Georgia raised fears they were the start of a wave of attacks on Israeli targets.
On Tuesday, Israeli defence minister Ehud Barak accused Iran of being behind the Bangkok blast, the AP news agency reports.
The explosion "proves once again that Iran and its proxies continue to perpetrate terror'', he is quoted as saying.
He said Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah were "unrelenting terror elements endangering the stability of the region and endangering the stability of the world".
Mr Barak is on an official visit in Singapore. A statement issued by the Israeli defence ministry noted that Barak was in Bangkok on Sunday, AP reports.
Identity card Police told the BBC the first explosion happened around 14:20 (07:20 GMT) at a house in the Ekamai area in central Bangkok, which the three Iranians were believed to have rented for a month.
Two men managed to escape the explosion that severely damaged the house, according to police, but a third man who suffered minor injuries tried to hail a taxi. When the taxi refused to stop for him, he threw at least one bomb at it.
There was a third explosion when the same man then attempted to throw another bomb at police, but missed. The man lost his legs when the device blew up.
He is said to be receiving emergency treatment in hospital. Thai media said that an identity card found nearby indicated the man could be of Iranian origin.
A police forensics team was examining the house and reports said that police used a high pressure water cannon to defuse another explosive found there.
The Thai authorities say they have detained an Iranian man at Bangkok's Airport for questioning, but it was not immediately clear if he was one of the two other suspects.
Thai Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra urged the public to remain calm.
On Monday, an Israeli diplomat was injured in a car bomb attack in the Indian capital, Delhi. It seems a motorcycle rider came from behind and attached an explosive device to the back door of the diplomat's car.
At almost the same time, a bomb beneath an Israeli diplomat's car in Tbilisi, Georgia, was found and defused.
There's just a chance these incidents are related ... that said, one expects more from the IRGC

I just watched a U.S. diplomat explain that Iran just made the dumbest move of the year with these attacks. Why were these moves so dumb? Well, because he literally couldn't think of a single reason why Iran would orchestrate these attacks.
In a lot of ways he's right. Iran literally couldn't do anything dumber than set off a bomb in a country that hasn't joined the hardline western stance against them. Why in the world would they want to create any more enemies in their region?
Despite all of this, he, and all of the U.S., will believe these attacks were perpetrated by Tehran whether there is any evidence or not.

I think Israel did this to fabricate an act of war and blame it on Iran.
