A letter addressing Israel Ambassador to India Ron Malka is among the significant findings in the low-intensity explosion that took place near the Embassy of Israel on Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Road in the national capital on Friday evening.

Sources from Delhi police revealed that in the letter, yesterday's explosion has been referred to as a 'trailer'. The killing of two Irans has also been mentioned in the letter.

"This is a trailer. We can end your life, anytime, anywhere. Iran martyr.." the letter reads.

The two names mentioned as martyrs in the letter are --Qasem Soleim (Iran military officer who served in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and was killed in a US airstrike in January 2020) and Mohsen Fakhrizadeh (Iran nuclear scientist assassinated in November 2020).

Delhi police crime investigation team on Saturday morning visited the incident spot and collected samples.

Further investigation is underway, Delhi Police said.
