Iranians named by India for Israel attack: Report
The men entered the country on tourists visas and left after the bombing in the centre of the Indian capital which badly wounded a female worker at the Israeli embassy, the Times of India reported.
The report, citing anonymous police and intelligence agency sources, said police had warrants for the men and their names would be given to the Iranian government.
The Indian Express said that India would seek help from Interpol, the international police organisation, to track down the suspects.
Last week, police made their first arrest in the case as they detained a Delhi-based Indian freelance journalist who worked part-time for Iran's news agency IRNA.
On February 13, a hitman on a motorbike attached a magnetic bomb to the back of an Israeli embassy car carrying the Israeli diplomat as she went to pick up her children from school.

@from India: "We Indians have no problem with Iran having nuke …" That is an astounding statement! Have you checked it with your government? If so, it would be interesting to hear some names!
I don't understand why Iran is doing this. We Indians have no problem with Iran having nuke ...this will only make India cut its relation with Iran.
@Pinto: @Dr Priyanka:
I think Pinto is correct. India has changed a lot since the Gulf war. At that time Natwar Singh still had lot of influence and he wanted to protect his pocket. He hacked Sadam to protect the oil quota he was receiving secretly from Sadam. Also remember that for the first time India voted against Iran in UN on the nuclear issue. It did not even abstain on the voting. India shall also weigh in Pakistan factor. Going against Iran, would force Pakistan to side with Iran and make enemies of Saudi Arabia and all Gulf Countries which is beneficial to India. In any case India would not want Iran to become a nuclear power and India has made it absolutely clear to everyone, including Iran.
No surprise -- the only people who don't believe that the culprits were Iranians are deluded Pakistani's.
@Abbas: India refused to give in to requests by the US and Israel to name Iran as the suspect immediately after the bombing. However, there appears to be some involvement of Iranian nationals and sympathetic Indians as well. I do not think this will impact friendly relations with Iran, as they have been kept in the loop on the results of the investigation.
And this proves that they were involved in the bombings. Because they left soon after the incident. How many other foreigners left after the bombings that day? They all should be included in the investigation.
@Pinto: First correct your spelling. India doesnot side with anyone in wars,remember the gulf wars!
@pinto :- well done iranian
Big mistake by iran gave enough reason to india to back israel incase war begings
