Earlier, Danny Shenar, head of security at the Transportation Ministry, told Haaretz that he asked European security services "to tighten security around groups of Israelis in various resorts like ski resorts and hotels." According to Shenar, "I asked to formally tighten security because I am worried about a security-related incident." 

Shenar added: "I've asked security services in Europe to escort groups of Israelis and conduct searches with police dogs.

Iran rejected as "sheer lies" the accusations that it was involved in the bomb attack. 

"Any terrorist attack is condemned (by Iran) and we strongly reject the untrue comments by an Israeli official," Mehdi Nabizadeh was quoted as saying by IRNA. "These accusations are untrue and sheer lies, like previous times." 

British Foreign Secretary William Hague said: “I was shocked and appalled to hear of the attack today on an Israeli diplomatic vehicle in New Delhi and the failed attack on another vehicle in Tbilisi. 

"Our thoughts are with those injured and their families. This Government condemns terrorism in all forms. We urge both the Indian and Georgian authorities to fully investigate these deliberate attacks on diplomatic staff." 

S. M. Krishna who is the External Affairs Minister has rang up the Israeli counterpart and confirmed that the Indian government will absolutely do its best to investigate the attack and will bring out the accused to book.
