“Man Admits Assistance from Iranian Military in Bomb Plot”
by Abha Shankar • Oct 17, 2012 at 3:39 pm
SNIPPET: “A Texas car salesman man accused in a bomb plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States pleaded guilty Wednesday.
Manssor Arbabsiar was charged last October in a plot targeting Saudi ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir as well as other targets including the Israeli embassy. The indictment also charges Gholam Shukri, a member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Quds Force, which is accused of sanctioning the plot.
The Quds Force has helped wage several terror attacks worldwide in support of the Iranian regime’s broader mission to export its Islamic revolution.
According to the plea agreement, Arbabsiar traveled several times to Mexico between May and September 2011 under direction from senior Quds Force officials in Iran. In Mexico, Arbabsiar met with a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) informant posing as “a representative of a sophisticated and violent Latin American drug cartel that had access to military-grade weaponry.””

SNIPPET: “A Texas car salesman was sentenced to 25 years in prison Thursday for his involvement in a bomb plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States. The plot was sanctioned by senior members of Iran’s deadly Revolutionary Guard Quds Force.
The Quds Force has helped wage several terror attacks worldwide in support of its broader mission to export Iran’s Islamic Revolution.
Manssor Arbabsiar, a 58-year-old naturalized American citizen, had earlier confessed to his involvement in a plot targeting Saudi ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir as well as other targets, including the Israeli embassy. Arbabsiar, who held both Iranian and U.S. passports, was arrested on September 29, 2011 at the John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. He and a member of the Quds Force, Gholam Shakuri, were subsequently charged in connection with the plot. Shakuri continues to remain at large.”
