She witnessed the aftermath of the attack outside the Iranian embassy, for which a group linked to al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility. "When we arrived at the scene, there were burned bodies on the ground. I saw a dozen myself," Chehwan said. "The time lapse separating the two explosions was about 30 seconds. There was shooting between Iranian embassy personnel and the attackers. The attackers could not reach the embassy - which was their goal of course, to attack the Iranian embassy - but they could not reach it, they failed."
