Iran's Ahmadinejad charges US with assassination plot

Jun 19, 2008

Tehran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Thursday charged the United States with an assassination plot against him, Fars news agency reported.

'According to reliable information, as I rejected to reside in the green zone during my trip to Iraq, the Americans had planned to kidnap and kill this humble servant of the nation,' Ahmadinejad told clergy circles in a meeting in the religious city of Qom in central Iran.

'The plot was neutralized due to a last-minute change of our schedule,' Ahmadinejad added, without however elaborating how Iran gained the information of the assassination attempt.

Ahmadinejad was in Iraq last March and according to reports back then, he cancelled a trip to southern Iraqi holy cities of Karbala and Najaf due to security concerns.

I'm sure this announcement (laughable as it is) was a disappointment to many Iranians who wish it would have happened.

Well, if they are going to accuse us of it anyway, maybe it’s time we gave some teeth to those accusations.

We're not going to kidnap you.

Why would we kill Ahmadinejad? That would be like Ayatollah Ali Khamenei killing Dana Perino white house press secretary. There is no point.

Look Mahmoud, if the US wanted you dead they would send a missile through your bedroom window one night, ask Omar.
