New Delhi , India ( CNN ) -- An Italian and an Iranian were among nine dead from a terror attack at an eatery popular among expatriates in the western Indian city of Pune , authorities said Sunday . Pune Police Commissioner Satyapal Singh identified the two as Saeed Abdul Ghani of Iran and Nadia Materinia of Italy . Saturday 's blast at the German Bakery wounded 60 people , including a dozen foreign nationals from several countries , including Yemen , Sudan , Taiwan and Germany . Home Secretary G.K. Pillai told reporters Saturday that the explosives were packed in a bag noticed by a waiter at the eatery , located in northeast Pune 's Koregaon Park . The explosion occurred at about 7:30 p.m. ( 9 a.m . ET ) Saturday . Indian Home Minister P. Chidambaram described the incident , which occurred in the yard outside the building , where people were eating , as a terrorist act . `` It is a first significant terrorist incident in 14 months , '' he told reporters , referring to the 2008 Mumbai assault . In that brazen series of attacks , gunmen took over three luxury hotels and a Jewish center and shot up several other places , including a restaurant , over three days . In all , more than 160 people were killed and hundreds more wounded . India blamed the attacks on the Pakistani militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba , which the United States regards as a terrorist organization . Pillai , the top bureaucrat in the Home Ministry , told reporters in New Delhi that nearby Osho Ashram was one of the sites surveyed by Lashkar-e-Taiba suspect David Headley , a U.S. citizen facing terror charges in the United States . Headley , a Chicago resident , faces six counts of conspiracy to bomb places in India , and to murder and maim people in India and Denmark ; and of providing material support to foreign terrorist plots and providing material support to Lashkar-e-Taiba . Headley faces an additional six counts of aiding and abetting the murder of U.S. citizens in the Mumbai attacks in which six Americans died . Headley , who is in U.S. custody , has pleaded not guilty and is cooperating with authorities . Chidambaram noted that the German Bakery -- a restaurant specializing in Western food -- is frequented by foreigners and Indians and is also near Chabad House -- a welcoming center run by Jews for people of all faiths -- and an ashram . Chidambaram , however , cautioned reporters not to `` draw any conclusions '' about who may have been behind the blast . Rabbi Betzalel Kupchik , whose Chabad house is about 100 meters from the blast site , expressed doubt that his organization had been targeted , but said his response would be to redouble his efforts to do good . `` Every time that happens something not good in the world , we have to make more goodness and kindness because you can not fight the darkness , you have to make the light , '' he said in a telephone interview . `` We have to make more goodness and kindness . '' The Osho Ashram -- about 500 meters from the restaurant -- describes itself as a 28-acre `` tropical oasis where nature and the 21st century blend seamlessly . '' The commune and meditation center was founded by the late Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh , who returned to India from the United States in the 1980s . `` We do n't know who they were looking for , '' said Chen Amiel , who was meditating inside the ashram when the blast occurred . `` I was meditating very deep , '' he said . `` I heard something , but I could n't identify it . '' Afterward , he approached the site of the blast and surveyed the damage . Though windows were blown out , the structure appeared intact , he said . `` All the yard was destroyed , '' he said . Initially , authorities thought a cooking gas cylinder had exploded , but all cylinders were accounted for , according to sister network CNN-IBN . An anti-terrorism squad is assisting in the investigation , Chandra Iyengar , home secretary for Maharashtra state , told CNN . Saturday 's blast comes a day after Indian and Pakistani officials agreed to meet in New Delhi later this month in a bid to resume their dialogue frozen by the 2008 Mumbai attacks . The officials will meet in the Indian capital February 25 , according to India 's External Affairs Ministry . India suspended its fragile peace process with arch-rival Pakistan in the wake of the 2008 Mumbai attacks . The planned meeting follows a trip last month by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates to South Asia . During his tour , he warned that a terrorist syndicate operated by al Qaeda aimed to spark a conflict between India and Pakistan . He praised what he saw as India 's restraint in the wake of the Mumbai strikes , but cautioned it may wear out in the event of another such attack .
