TrainerModel Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 (edited) The FBI and the DEA have disrupted a plot involving Iran to commit terrorism inside the United States, a senior U.S. official told CNN. The official said the alleged plan was directed by elements of the Iranian government and involved a plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States. Still developing but looks like some Iranian agents were working up a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the US on American soil. http://news.blogs.cn...iran/?hpt=hp_t2 Edited October 11, 2011 by TrainerModel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoleIt Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Crazy. If true, I hope we can try the guy with dual citizenship for treason. But I am betting this administration doesn't have the stones to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ Kind Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Yay. Another "slam dunk". Can some people in other (read: tropical and nice) parts of the world misbehave so that we can go war there instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Masshole Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I wonder if we will see an Iranian official killed in the next few days. Although that would be admitting to the plot, so they will accuse him of taking bribes and then kill him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can some people in other (read: tropical and nice) parts of the world misbehave so that we can go war there instead? Won't happen. People who live in nice places are 20% happier overall, and don't get their panties in a wad and go to war over dumb stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingBull Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Goddammit. Gas just started getting less expensive. On a more serious note, if this plot had come to fruition and Iran not only killed an Ambassador on our soil but killed dozens/hundreds of Americans at the same time would there have been any non-war options? This could have been fucking ugly if it wasn't stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could have been ing ugly if it wasn't stopped. That is if we found out who did it. They could have been successful without much evidence on where the wires crossed. Staying safe in a post 9/11 world has been ALOT of work and ALOT of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nsplayr Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 This looks like Holder's attempt to deflect heat from Operation Fast and Furious. Wow, cynical much? There's no way this could be a legit successful effort at foiling a plot that honestly fell in to the FBI's lap after DEA informants tipped them off... /sarcasm...

boobs Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'm still skeptical it was an Iranian plot. Those IRGC is not known for sloppiness in operations and if they really wanted to F with us or the Saudis there are way easier and closer options than a place in DC. I'm not saying there wasn't a plot of some sort but the Quds is no amatuer show when it comes to operations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainerModel Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Its likely the highest of the high-ups weren't privy to the plot. But Iranian gov't agencies appear pretty implicitly involved. The gov't leaders of Iran, just as in any country, are still held responsible/accountable when elements in their government are doing stupid sh!t involving other countries/assassinations/etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
