Iranian Assassination Plot Inside U.S.

The U.S. Justice Dept. has uncovered a plot that they claim was at least ok'd if not outright planned by a special operations branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the U.S., Adel A. Al-Jubeir.

The plot included bombing a restaurant said to be frequented multiple times a week by the ambassador in Washington. It also has been allegedly said that the highest levels of the Iranian regime was at least comfortable with any civilian deaths or other collateral damage.

The plot apparently included a Mexican "cutaway" agent, meaning if caught, Iran, as they are doing, could deny any involvement.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has vowed to send a "strong message" to Iran.


I have to go with the majority of people questioning the logic of this alleged attempt. What would Iran have to gain assassinating the Saudi Arabian Ambassador to the United States?
