The Delhi police have launched a massive hunt for the biker who was following the car which was carrying the Israeli diplomat who was injured in a bomb attack on Monday at New Delhi.

The Delhi police, who have reconstructed the scene with the help of eyewitness accounts say that there was a biker who was chasing the car and he had stuck something on the back of the car.

The police believe that it could be the bomb before it was detonated. However, they have not been able to ascertain as yet whether it was the same biker who detonated the bomb

or was there another person involved in the incident.

The initial forensics reports have found that the bomb was triggered off by another device and it could be a cell phone because normally sticky bombs are triggered off by ringing the cell phone attached to the bomb.

However, there is no real clarity on the group that could be behind this incident even as the Israelis continue to say that there are sure it was the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah.
