While the administration of Barack Obama vows to hold the Iranian government “accountable” for the alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, the legal document...provides multiple indications that it was mainly the result of an FBI “sting” operation...Although the legal document...implicates Iranian-American Manssor Arbabsiar and his cousin Ali Gholam Shakuri...in a plan to assassinate [the] Saudi Arabian Ambassador...it also suggests that the idea originated with and was strongly pushed by an undercover DEA informant, at the direction of the FBI.
