Israeli diplomats targeted in India, Georgia attacks

NEW DELHI – Israel blamed Iran on Monday for bomb attacks on its diplomats’ cars in India and Georgia, heightening concerns the Jewish state was moving closer to striking its archenemy.

Iran denied responsibility for the attacks that appeared to mirror the recent killings of Iranian nuclear scientists that Tehran blamed on Israel.

The blast in New Delhi set a car ablaze and injured four people, including an Israeli Embassy driver and a diplomat’s wife; the device in Georgia was discovered and safely defused.
