Indian police have arrested a free lance journalist in the Indian capital over the bomb attack on an Israeli embassy car last month, local media reported Wednesday.

However, while some reports said the arrested was an Indian national, a newspaper put him as an Iranian from Tehran.

Mohammad Qadri Sheikh, 40, was arrested Tuesday for conspiring to bomb the Israeli Embassy's vehicle, along with another man last month. He had earlier worked for an Iranian agency and carried out the blast at their behest, according to some media reports.

However, local daily Hindustan Times described the suspect as a 50-year-old Iranian man named Syed Ahmed Kazmi.

Kazmi has been arrested from Lodhi colony in central Delhi by special forces in connection with the Israeli embassy car blast case, the daily Hindustan Times said in its electronic edition.

Kazmi, a resident of Tehran, helped plan the attack. He is now being questioned by Indian security agencies, said the report quoting unnamed sources.

Israeli diplomat Tal Yehoshua, her Indian driver as well as two other passers-by were injured in the blast after a magnetic bomb stuck to the vehicle went off on Feb. 13 in central Delhi.

This is the first arrest in the blast case. Israel has blamed Iran for the incident, saying that it's the death anniversary of a senior Hezbollah leader, and the blast may not be entirely coincidental.
