Iran has accused Israel of conducting “war games” in Tehran in a
letter of complaint to the United Nations Security Council.
Iran´s Ambassador to the United Nations, Mohammad Khazaee, charged in
the letter filed Wednesday that Israel was “assassinating our nuclear
scientists as part of its war games.” He also denied that his country
has been involved in the recent rash of terror attacks on Israeli
diplomats and embassies around the world.
Iran “categorically rejects the allegations concerning any
involvement of its officials or organs whatsoever in alleged recent
terrorist operations against Israeli targets in a number of
countries, namely Thailand, India, Georgia or Azerbaijan,” the envoy
wrote. Instead, he contended, Iran has “suffered from terrorist acts
including assassinations of her nuclear scientists due to the tacit
and explicit support extended by the Israeli regime to terrorist
groups. These operations, as well as attributing the violent acts,
are part of the general war game waged by this regime against Iran.”
The ambassador added in his letter that Israel has been “emboldened”
to continue its activities, and to “even increase its blatant
defiance of the most basic and fundamental principles of
international law and the United Nations Charter.”
Last week, the wife of Israel´s defense attache in New Delhi was
seriously injured in a bombing attack on an Israeli embassy car. She
and her Indian driver, along with two other Indian nationals,
narrowly escaped death by leaping from the car before it burst into
flames.
Also last week, terrorists attempted to attack an Israeli diplomat to
Georgia in the capital, Tbilisi, but failed when the alert driver
stopped the car upon hearing an unfamiliar noise and discovered the
explosive.
That same week in Bangkok, Thailand, three terrorists used cheap
portable radios to hide one bomb and parts for other explosives
intended for use against Israelis, according to a report broadcast on
the U.S.-based ABC News Tuesday night.
The botched bomb plot unraveled when the explosives blew up in the
house being rented by the terrorists. The Iranians fled, one carrying
two bombs they had managed to assemble. Saeid Moradi was caught by
police when he hurled one bomb at a taxi that eluded him, and then
the second, which bounced off a nearby truck and exploded, blowing
off his legs.
Israel blamed Iran for all three attacks and filed a complaint with
the United Nations, while security officials warned Israelis around
the world to remain vigilant in the face of the latest obvious threat.
In January, Azerbaijani officials announced they had uncovered an
Iranian-linked Muslim terrorist cell that plotted to assassinate
Chabad-Lubavitch emissaries who teach at the Chabad Jewish school in
Baku. It was later reported that terrorists arrested in the case were
plotting to attack the Israeli Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Michael
Lotem, as well.
Local Azerbaijani police this week arrested members of the Iranian
intelligence service and a Hizbullah terrorist cell, all of whom held
Iranian passports, according to a report Tuesday on Israel´s Channel
2 News. (IsraelNationalNews © 2012 02/23/12)
