Bombing of Israeli Embassy Van Results in Fingerpointing

On Monday, a bomb attached to a Israeli Embassy van exploded in New Dehli, injuring four. A similar bomb was found on a embassy car in Georgia, which was set off in a controlled explosion, in which no one was injured. These events lead to fingerpointing between Iran and Israel as to who was responsible. The Prime Minister of Israel, Bejamin Netanyahu, maintains that Iran is behind attacks, and calls then the largest exporter of terror. However, the spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry blames Israel for the attacks against their own embassy, as a way to ruin the relationship between Iran and the host countries. US Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, condemned the attacks in a written statement, and maintained that the US will assist any investigations regarding these events. Clearly, the situation is very tense, and appears as if it will only get worse.
