The Israeli Embassy in Ethiopia was on high alert over the last two months due to fears of a potential Iranian attack, according to a Thursday television report. The Kan News report also said Ethiopian authorities have arrested 16 suspects who were planning an attack against the United Arab Emirates embassy in the African nation’s capital, Addis Ababa. Last Friday saw a blast rock the Israeli embassy in New Delhi, India. Israeli authorities are treating the explosion as a suspected terror attack aimed at the embassy, and have stepped up security precautions at missions around the world. There was speculation that those incidents were in response to Israel’s alleged assassinations of multiple Iranian nuclear scientists as Jerusalem fought to curtail Iran’s nuclear program.
