Israel claims Iran behind ‘terrorist attack’ blasts

An Iranian man wounded by an explosion in Bangkok lobbed a grenade at police that rebounded and blew off his leg in a series of blasts Israel said were an attempted terrorist attack by Iran.

The blasts came a day after an Israeli diplomatic car was bombed in India. Tehran denied responsibility for that attack and a failed car bombing in Georgia.

Thai security forces found more explosives in the house where the Iranian man was staying with two compatriots in Bangkok, but the targets were not known, Police Gen Pansiri Prapawat said. One of the other men was arrested at the airport.
