Idle hands. I wouldn’t be surprised if the orders came straight from that nasty Khomeni. Ate my dinnerjacket will probably have to read about it in the paper.
According to the complaint, last Spring, Arbabsiar met with an informant from the DEA agent in Mexico posing as a member of a powerful cartel. Eventually Arbabsiar allegedly offered money to the informant to assassinate the ambassador for $1.5 million. Arbabsiar allegedly wired $100,000 into a U.S. bank account. Arbabsiar allegedly confessed to his participation in the alleged plot.
via Iranians Charged Over Terror Plot In U.S. FYI, Barack was briefed in June. Stupid jackholes thought they were in contact with the Zetas in Mexico City. Maybe he should have picked another cartel head?
The case, called Operation Red Coalition, started in May when Iranian-American Arbabsiar from Corpus Christi, Texas, sought help for the assassination from a Mexican drug cartel and inadvertently approached a US informant.
Arbabsiar allegedly wired $100,000 to the informant as a down payment for the $1.5million assassination fee.
According to the complaint, Arbabsiar told agents he was recruited, funded and directed by men he understood to be senior officials in Iran’s Qods Force.
He allegedly said these Iranian officials were aware of and approved of the plot.
DOJ subpoenas distraction? Where’s Janet? Will anyone ask Ron Paul about Iran being an enemy of the US tonight?

Nasty nasty nasty. Iran, the DEA, the drug cartels. Holder rehab?

Surprised, eh PMM?

Yeah why is Justice doing the announcement instead of Homeland. Janet must be sad.

I don’t think that Janet will be pleased DE. Where is Panetta?

Iranian agents in Mexico? Say it ain’t so…
Muslim Brotherhood agents in Mexico? Say it ain’t so…
Whatever agents bent on the destruction of the U.S. in Mexico? Say it ain’t so…
Drug cartel necktie parties and dismemberment moments to cherish? Say it ain’t so…
Just makes you wanna run right out and move to Mexico, don’t it?
NOT!!!!!!!

Tommy, I would never have thought any of this could possibly happen twenty years ago. I knew things were getting bad in the 80s, but never did I ever think that we would be this far off course.

“Arbabsiar told agents he was recruited, funded and directed by men he understood to be senior officials in Iran’s Qods Force.”
CIA. more likely: this is deflection from Eric Holder being subpoenaed over Fast and Furious, remember perry just said he’d use more US military in Mexico.

““This case illustrates that we live in a world where borders and boundaries are increasingly irrelevant, a world where individuals from one country sought to conspire with a drug-trafficking cartel in another country to assassinate a foreign official on United States soil,” said FBI Director Robert M. Mueller.”
This goes very well with the link above.
Curiously, alleged plot victim Al Jubeir used to date Campbell Brown, now wife to Dan Senor.
There seems little purpose in murdering Al Jubeir, he is a favored go between for the Saudi royals and foreign politicians of a number of countries, not just the US, but he is hardly the head of the food chain. Neither are the Saudi and Israeli embassies in Argentina or the Israeli embassy in Washington of any strategic value. Even if I believed the Iranians would target anything inside the US, and I categorically do not, I do not see these as likely targets. Nor is there any reason for Iran to target just left of center Argentina.
However, Christina Kirchner is slated to win re-election in the upcoming vote October 23, 2011 and she has not proven to be the tool expected (she was elected on the strength of her husband Nestor Kirchner’s economic performance). She had the brains to recently repudiate Argentina’s 3.5 billion debt much like Iceland did, and therefore did not drag her country down into ruin to save some rich bankers’ asses. http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/atfa-urges-debt-repayment-as-president-kirchner-visits-new-york-130264113.html
The case that the BIS-IMF-World Bank- Federal Reserve has an axe to grind is made far more readily.
Jsut sayin.

I don’t like any of this at all.

It seems to be another distraction.

I think so too; the BHO administration is so corrupt, it could be cover for anything; and it really does look like more case making for assassinating people around the globe on the say so of the PTB that they are terrorists, and also case making for a war with Iran or at least a (perhaps nuclear) strike on Bushehr. I could readily imagine these freaks assassinating Kirchner or anyone else they took exception to as a false flag and killing 2 birds with one stone.

International Tribunal for Crimes of Church and States (ITCCS.org) is expected to commence judicial proceedings starting in late October 2011 in Brussels, Belgium and Dublin, Ireland for child genocide crimes against humanity against defendants Elizabeth Windsor, head of state of Canada and head of the Church of England and Pope Joseph Ratzinger, both of whom knowingly participated in the planning and coverup of the child genocide, according to forensic evidence.

f course obama knew about it. Assassins for hire is just one more reason he wants the border wide open. I wonder how the Mafia likes the competition–unless his Cicago pals are running the Mexican show.

“This really, in the minds of many diplomats and government officials, crosses a line that Iran needs to be held to account for,” Clinton told The Associated Press. She said the plot – it allegedly involved Iranian government agents trying to contract a Mexican cartel to kill Saudi Ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir – was stranger than fiction.
“The idea that they would attempt to go to a Mexican drug cartel to solicit murder-for-hire to kill the Saudi ambassador, nobody could make that up, right?” she said in a nearly hour-long, wide-ranging interview with AP reporters and editors.

…”While Attorney General Eric Holder feigns outrage over Iran’s “alleged” role in an “alleged” bombing plot, and its violation of “international norms,” it turns out that the US has been in reality, carrying out just such a campaign of armed terror on Iranian soil for years. Adding insult to injury, Eric Holder is currently under investigation for his role in running thousands of military-grade weapons over the US-Mexican border, where they were used by mass-murdering drug gangs to terrorize people across Mexico and even to kill US agents. One might wonder how many “international norms” that has violated.
That the current “alleged” plot pinned on Iran revolves around yet another undercover federal agency conducting a long-term sting operation defies belief. That we are expected to believe one of Iran’s most elite military forces left such a sensitive, potentially war-starting operation to a used-car salesman and a drug gang reported in the papers daily for its involvement with US government agencies (and who turns out to actually be undercover DEA agents) is so ridiculous it can only be “made up” as Secretary Clinton puts it. More accurately, it is the result of an impotent US intelligence community incapable of contriving anything more convincing in the face of an ever awakening American public, to bolster its morally destitute agenda. The cartoonish nature of the plot and the arms’ length even its proponents treat it with to maintain plausible deniability is indicative of a dangerously out of control ruling elite and an utterly incompetent, criminally insane government.”…
Nicely put.
