DUBAI: Three Iranians linked to a series of blasts in Bangkok this week had come to Thailand to target Israeli diplomats, Thailand's police chief said Thursday. “They were aiming at individuals, specifically Israeli diplomats,” National Police Chief Priewpan Damapong said after interviewing one of the Iranian suspects, Mohummad Hazaei, 42, who was arrested trying to leave the country Tuesday night. Priewpan said Thai authorities had requested that Malaysia send another Iranian suspect, Masoud Sedaghat Zadeh, 31, who they arrested late Wednesday, back to Bangkok to assist with Thailand's investigation. The Iranian government has denied any involvement in the attack, and the Thai police chief has not said whether the attackers were backed by Tehran. All three suspects were residing in a rented house in Bangkok that was rocked by an apparently accidental explosion Tuesday, prompting them to flee. While Hazaei and Zahed managed to escape the scene of the explosion, a third Iranian, Saeid Moradi, 32, was less fortunate. Moradi tried to hail a cab but when none stopped for him, he threw a grenade at a passing taxi, injuring the driver and three bystanders. When a police car approached him, Moradi threw another explosive devise at the vehicle, but it bounced back towards him and exploded, severing both his legs.
