Journalist held for terror attack on Israeli envoy’s car

NEW DELHI: An Indian journalist working for an Iranian publication was arrested on Tuesday night in connection with the terror attack on an Israeli diplomat on February 13. Syed Mohammad Ahmad Kazmi, 50, who was arrested from his residence at B K Dutt Colony in south Delhi where he lives with his family, is alleged to be part of an Iranian group behind the attack.
Two personal computers, a laptop, his Maruti Alto, mobile phone and $1250 in cash were recovered. Highly placed sources said Kazmi helped with the logistics, including conducting reconnaissance missions of the Israeli embassy and providing his car to the bombers.
Kazmi, sources said, confessed to helping the bombers and being part of the “conspiracy”. “He was in regular touch with the main conspirators for over a year and helped them at every step,” a source said. The foreign ministry remained tightlipped on the Iran link, saying it was too early to draw conclusions.
