New Delhi, Feb 16: Investigators are scanning international calls made to Iran, Pakistan and middle-eastern countries around the time of the attack on Israeli diplomat's car here on Monday even as they carried out overnight raids to trace the motorcyclist who stuck the magnetic bomb.
Police sources said they were also examining telephone calls made from New Delhi area in the past few days to ascertain whether it has any connection with the attack.
A senior police official said they were specifically looking into a few calls made to Iran, Lebanon and Pakistan from Khan Market area where Tal Yehoshua-Koren, the Israeli diplomat, had lunch with her husband, before she was attacked. However, the sources said, they were yet to link these calls with the attack.
