NEW DELHI: Delhi Police and intelligence agencies say they have identified the three Iranian nationals who planned and executed the bomb attack on the Israeli diplomat’s car on February 13 here.The accused have been identified as Houshang Afshar Irani, Seyed Ali Mahdiansadr and Mohammad Reza Abolghasemi. All three hold Iranian passports and came to Delhi 15 days before the attack on tourist visas. The trio left the city after the bombing for a middle-eastern country.The investigation agencies are trying to find out which group within Iran were the three affiliated to. “Preliminary investigations suggest they belong to the Iranian spy agency,” a source said.Police commissioner B K Gupta is likely to hold a press conference on Thursday or Friday to share details of the investigations.The source said the passport of Houshang Irani, son of Ataollah, was issued on January 9, 2010, by the Iranian government. Similarly, Seyed Ali Mahdiansadr, son of Seyed Ebrahim, had his passport issued on December 25, 2008, and that of Mohammad Reza Abolghasemi, son of Mohammad Javad, was issued on December 2, 2008. All three, had visited India earlier as well.Irani had reportedly come to Delhi in February 2011 and met Kazmi regarding the plan to attack an Israeli official, the source said. He also stayed with Kazmi for some time. This time around, the bombers stayed at a Paharganj hotel.On the day of the blast, sources said, Irani rented a black Hero Honda Passion Pro bike from Karol Bagh. He followed the diplomat’s car as she headed towards the American school. As the car stopped at the Aurangzeb Road-Safdarjung Road crossing, he stuck the magnetic IED on the right side of the car and fled. The cops have recovered the black bike.Amid protests over journalist Kazmi’s arrest in the case, cops firmly said he was part of the conspiracy and provided logistical help to the bombers. Delhi Police’s special investigation team had recovered a moped, HR51-5306, from Kazmi’s residence when he was arrested on March 6. Sources say this moped was used by the attackers in their recce operations. It was purchased in the name of Irani before the blast and while leaving India, he left it with Kazmi as a gift, said the source. Irani had also parked the rented bike at Kazmi’s place.During the raid at Kazmi’s house, cops say they recovered a photograph of the journalist together with Irani. According to sources, the bombers hatched the plan to attack an Israeli embassy staffer in Delhi sometime in February 2011 and Kazmi was contacted to help in the operation. He reportedly agreed.Police said they have enough evidence to prove Kazmi’s complicity in the case. Kazmi, sources say, was promised good money for his help and an instalment of $5,000 was already paid. The SIT recovered a laptop, two computers, a phone and $1,250 from Kazmi apart from his Maruti Alto car, which too he had allegedly lent to the bombers for their recce work. Investigators say he was in regular touch with the bombers for the past one year and had also been asked to recruit men for the operation.
