While the Barack Obama administration vows to hold the Iranian government “accountable” for the alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, the legal document describing evidence in the case provides multiple indications that it was mainly the result of a Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) sting operation.
Although the document, called an amended criminal complaint, implicates Iranian-American Mansour Arabsiar and his cousin Ali Gholam Shakuri, an officer in the Iranian Qods 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 an undercover DEA [Department of Drug Enforcement] informant, at the direction of the FBI”.
On May 24, when Arabsiar first met with the DEA informant he thought was part of a Mexican drug cartel, it was not to hire a hit squad to kill the ambassador. Rather, there is reason to believe that the main purpose was to arrange a deal to sell large amounts of opium from Afghanistan.

This is yet ANOTHER of MILLIONS of examples that proves that the government has to PLOT, PLAN and STAGE terror attacks because if they did not there would be almost NONE ever!
Think about it, terror attacks on countries like the US, Israel, the UK etc have about as much chance of succeeding the cause as does a kidnapping for ransom. Especially for a bunch of cave dwellers, rebel groups and alike.
You also to think about WHY would a guy bent on ASSASSINATING an Saudi Ambassador meeting with what he thinks are DRUG DEALERS. Clearly this guy was looking to make DRUG deals and NOT looking to assassinate the Ambassador.
If anything, it sounds more like ENTRAPMENT. Granted he wanted to deal drugs but to try and get this guy to commit a MURDER is entrapment.
