Home Minister P. Chidambaram said on Tuesday that the lone motorcyclist who tried to assassinate an Israeli diplomat's wife here was ‘a very well trained person’.
"It is very clear that a very well trained person has committed this attack," Chidambaram said, referring to Monday's bomb attack in the heart of the city that badly injured the wife of the defence attache.
"There is also reason to believe that the target was the Israeli diplomat's wife. Therefore one has to proceed on the basis that it was a terrorist attack," the minister told reporters.
The victim, Tal Yehoshua Koren, was still in hospital but in stable condition, he added.
