Thailand: Iranians Planned to Attack Israelis Thailand's police chief said the Iranians who were arrested after accidentally setting off explosives at their rented home in Bangkok were plotting to attack Israeli diplomats, bolstering claims by Israel that the group was part of an Iranian-backed network of terror. "I can tell you that the target was specific and aimed at Israeli diplomatic staff," police chief Gen. Prewpan Dhamapong told a Thai television station late Wednesday. He also confirmed that the type of explosive - a homemade "sticky" bomb - found at the blast site Tuesday matched the devices planted on Israeli diplomatic cars in India and Georgia a day earlier. The type of improvised explosives they used were the same. The type that was attached to vehicles," Prewpan said, confirming that an investigation into a magnetic strip found in Bangkok was the same type used in New Delhi. The comments were the first confirmation by Thailand that the explosions this week were part of a terror plot to be carried out in the country. It raises concerns that even Thailand - a sunny tourist destination long perceived to be off the global terror map - is equally vulnerable to attacks. A red flag was raised last month, with the arrest of a Lebanese-Swedish man with alleged links to Hezbollah who led police to a warehouse near Bangkok packed with more than 8,800 pounds (4,000 kilograms) of urea fertilizer and other materials that could be used to make bombs. CORRECTS SPELLINGS OF NAMES OF SUSPECTS SHOWN AT CENTER AND RIGHT - In this combination of images made from surveillance video on Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012, and released by the Spokesman Office of the National Thai Police, three Iranian bomb suspects, identified by police from left, as Saeid Moradi, Mohammad Kharzei and Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, walk down the middle of a residential street in Bangkok, Thailand, after the first blast at an explosives-filled house where the three were staying. Moradi was injured and four civilians were wounded Tuesday in a series of explosions in Bangkok.

The U.S. Embassy said that foreign terrorists may have been looking to attack tourist areas in Bangkok and Thai media reported the attacks were aimed at Israeli targets, including the Israeli Embassy. Thai authorities insisted that Thailand was a staging ground for attacks but not the target. Thai officials say it is not clear if the two incidents are connected. Authorities in Thailand are still trying to determine if the Iranian men were part of a larger terror group. Two of the men were detained in Bangkok on Tuesday after fleeing the destroyed house, while a third was arrested Wednesday in neighboring Malaysia after boarding a flight from Bangkok to Kuala Lumpur overnight. Israel accuses Iran of waging a campaign of state terror and has threatened military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, while Iran has denied responsibility for all three plots this week. On Monday in New Delhi, an explosion tore through an Israeli diplomatic vehicle, wounding the driver and a diplomat's wife. On the same day in the former Soviet republic of Georgia, authorities say attackers planted an explosive device on the car of a driver for the Israeli Embassy, but it was discovered and defused before going off. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu denounced the violence. "If this aggression isn't halted, ultimately it will spread to many other countries," Netanyahu said in Israel's parliament Wednesday. He convened his Security Cabinet to discuss terrorism against Israel and "Iran's involvement in repeated attempts to attack Israeli targets," his office said. Israeli Ambassador to Thailand Itzhak Shoham told The Associated Press in an interview Tuesday that the similarity of the bombs found in Bangkok and New Delhi has led Israel to believe the groups are linked. "We can assume that there is the same network of terror," he said.
