| Qatar Suggests Saudi, Iran Meet over Envoy 'Plot' | |
| 2011-10-31 | |
[An Nahar] Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani proposed on Sunday that Saudi and Iranian officials should meet over the alleged Iranian plot to kill the Saudi envoy to Washington, state media said.
... and if you can't believe the state news agency who can you believe? "The Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran and Soddy Arabia are two big nations and should have good relations," he said, adding that he hoped that U.S. allegations against Iran would be proven false. "We are part of the Gulf Cooperation Council, and we have an interest in the security and stability of Soddy Arabia. We hope that it is false," he said. "We still wait for evidence," he said. The United States claims that the Quds Force of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards plotted to kill the Saudi ambassador to Washington by hiring assassins from a Mexican narco mob for $1.5 million. An Iranian-American accused of involvement in the plot pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." in a New York court last week. Iran has strongly denied No, no! Certainly not! any involvement. | |
