US Disrupts 'Iranian Terror Plot'

The World
The US says it has broken up a major terror plot in which agents linked to Iran sought to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to Washington. Two men originally from Iran — one a naturalized US citizen — have been charged with counts of conspiracy, Attorney General Eric Holder said. The plot was "conceived" in Iran by the Quds force, part of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps, he added. The state department has listed Iran as a "state sponsor" of terror since 1984.
