Iran TV airs confessions in murder of scientists

Interpol had issued arrest warrants for four of the suspects in the New Delhi attack in March. The Times of India, citing the police investigation, adds biographical detail, describing Houshang Afshar Irani, who allegedly drove past the Israeli car on a motorcycle and attached the "sticky" explosive device, as a builder. Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, the alleged mastermind, is identified as a salesman. Their alleged accomplices, Syed Ali Mahdiansadr and Mohammed Reza Abolghasemi, are identified as a "mobile shopkeeper" and a clerk at the Tehran water authority respectively.

Two of the men are also wanted by Thai police in connection with an alleged plot to attack Israeli targets in Bangkok. On February 14, the day after the New Delhi attack, several men allegedly fled a rented Bangkok house after an explosion inside. One of the men allegedly blew off his own legs while attacking a taxi driver and police with bombs as he tried to leave the scene. Police allegedly found two unexploded bombs in the house vacated by the Iranians.

The Times of India says Indian police are seeking Ali Akbar Norouzishayan, who Thai police claim was spotted on security camera footage leaving the Bangkok house after the explosion. Interpol has not issued a warrant for Norouzishayan, whom the Times describes as a retired accountant in Tehran.

Masoud Sedaghatzadeh, also sought by the Indians, is being held in Malaysia, where he is fighting his extradition to Thailand. He was arrested in Kuala Lumpur while attempting to return to Iran a day after the Bangkok blast. Indian authorities have also reportedly accused him of taking part in a plot in Tbilisi, Georgia, where an unexploded bomb was found on an Israeli vehicle the same day as the New Delhi bombing.
