WASHINGTON — The Justice Department on Tuesday accused elements of the Iranian government of being involved in a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States, and Attorney General Eric Holder said the U.S. would hold Iran accountable.

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.

Because, on internet message boards you have to point out that there are things that go without saying, because otherwise it won't go without saying.

good ****ing god, what were they thinking

hope the Iran-link parts aren't true

[skinsfan_1215]

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.

Did you have to say that??

I didn't think so, but apparently.

isn't it an assassination attempt if you're trying to kill a specific person rather than trying to instill terror?
