An Iranian man blew off his legs with grenades and wounded four civilians Tuesday in Bangkok, the Associated Press reported. The man was identified as Saeid Moradi from Iran by a passport found at the scene. CBS and the AP reported that an Israeli Cabinet minister said his country will “settle the score” with the perpetrators of the bombing.

According to the AP, a blast earlier that day had shaken the house Moradi was sharing with two other Iranian men. A part of the roof was blown off and the two other men quickly left the house.

Police Gen. Pansiri Prapawat told the AP that Moradi was seriously injured by the blast and attempted to wave down a taxi. He was covered in blood so the driver refused to take him. Moradi then threw an explosive that damaged the taxi.

Police responded to a call about the first blast and tried to apprehend Moradi. He threw a grenade but it "somehow bounced back" and blew off his legs, Pansiri told the AP.

Israel has blamed Iran for this blast, as well as the Monday bombing of an Israeli diplomatic car in India. Tensions are high over Iran’s nuclear program. Israel doesn’t believe Iran’s claims that it’s not pursuing nuclear weapons. Iran has blamed Israel for a series of assassinations of nuclear scientists.

The AP reported:

Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak said the Bangkok blasts were attempted terrorist attacks backed by Iran. Another government minister strongly implied Israel would seek revenge, without mentioning Iran explicitly.

"We know who carried out the terror attacks, we know who sent them, and Israel will settle the score with them," Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch told Israel Radio.

One of the other men staying with Moradi was arrested later at an airport.

Three Thai men and a Thai woman were treated for injuries.
