External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin said the Minister and Ambassador will discuss during their meeting this evening the issue of the attack on the car of the Israeli official on Aurangazeb Road near Prime Minister's residence on Monday.

The two will also deliberate on the progress in investigations so far.

Tal Yehoshua(40), wife of a Israeli Defence Attache and herself a diplomat working in the mission, was critically injured in the explosion and underwent surgeries at the private Primus hospital for removal of splinters from her spine and liver. She was among the four persons wounded in the blast.

Police are groping in the dark for clues in the case even as an extensive search for the attacker and a red motorcycle used by him were on. Police are looking into an attack on Iranian nuclear scientist last month for clues

Nabizadeh said the incident happened in India and the authorities here have to verify the case.

"We hope that India to verify the case to know the real position. Till now, their final reaction has not come. We hope it will come," he said.
