Did FBI/DEA entrap small-time Iranian drug dealer to frame Tehran in “terror plot” sting? http://thepassionateattachment.com/2011/10/15/did-fbidea-entrap-small-time-iranian-drug-dealer-to-frame-tehran-in-terror-plot-sting/#more-2619

“Although the legal document, called an amended criminal complaint, implicates Iranian-American Manssor Arbabsiar and his cousin Ali Gholam Shakuri, an officer in the Iranian Quds Force, in a plan to assassinate Saudi Arabian Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir, it also suggests that the idea ‘originated with and was strongly pushed by a undercover DEA informant, at the direction of the FBI,’” writes investigative historian and journalist Gareth Porter.

Continuing his analysis of that criminal complaint, Porter points out: Both that language and the absence of any statement attributed to Arbabsiar imply that the Iranian-American said nothing about assassinating the Saudi ambassador except in response to suggestions by the informant, who was already part of an FBI undercover operation.
