NDTV
Two years ago a "low-intensity" IED was detonated near the Israel embassy; there were no injuries but the windscreens of three cars were shattered.
The Tuesday evening blast near the Israel embassy in Delhi - being investigated by anti-terror agency NIA - has refocused attention on the security blanket over the city's Chanakyapuri neighbourhood, which is home to dozens of embassies, including those of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany.
From a security perspective, the entire area is labelled as "vulnerable" and is monitored by a network of CCTV cameras. Delhi Police, in fact, is scanning the feed from over 100 of these set up in and around the Israel embassy to track down two potential suspects, sources told NDTV.
Chanakyapuri is part of the New Delhi district. It was created in the 1950s, and named after Chanakya, the philosopher, military strategist and advisor to Emperor Chandragupta Maurya. The iconic Shanti Path, or Road of Peace, runs through its centre. Spread over six square km, it contains the famous Nehru Park and schools run by diplomatic missions, including The British School and the American Embassy School.
