Explosives used in attacks this week in Delhi and Bangkok were of similar types, an Israeli diplomat has said.

Israel's ambassador to Thailand, Itzhak Shoham, said that the similarities of the devices used in those attacks and one that was thwarted on Monday in Georgia, led Israel to "assume that there is the same network of terror".

He added: "We can assume from the other experiences that we were the target."

Israeli officials have already accused Iran of being behind the attacks, which came soon after the four th anniversary of the death of a senior figure in Hizbollah.
