Two people, including a member of Iran’s special operations unit known as the Quds Force, were charged in New York federal court. Holder said the bomb plot was a flagrant violation of U.S. and international law. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I would like them to more clearly define "weapon of mass destruction" in the article. Were they planning on assassinating the saudi ambassador and taking the rest of DC along with him? Edit: the only place I see that term is in TWA's 2nd link. I would assume conventional weapons would have been involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 isn't it an assassination attempt if you're trying to kill a specific person rather than trying to instill terror? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brave Little Toaster Oven Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 isn't it an assassination attempt if you're trying to kill a specific person rather than trying to instill terror? i think the blowing up of the Saudi and Israeli embassy is where that idea came from Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 These guys are brilliant. Instead of trying to kill Saudis and Israelis over there where we don't care, they try to kill them in DC where our military would likely get involved.

Prosperity Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 http://www.scribd.com/fullscreen/68381732?access_key=key-cp3h9fmv2jsb8wjl5me the charges, starting about pg 6 are some details on how the conspiracy formulated. The gist of appears to be that an Iranian agent contacted someone from a Mexican drug cartel. The cartel guy agreed to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador for 1.5 million. Cartel guy is later arrested and becomes a snitch for the DEA. The FBI caught the agent in direct contact w/ the snitch and then flipped him against the Iranian agent abroad and even recorded telephone calls w/ to him.

visionary Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 There's a lot of doubt and suspicion about this on twitter. I do find it weird that they would attack the Israeli and Saudi embassies in the US. I don't really get what this would accomplish for Iran. Don't really doubt the report though.
