Federal officials say an assassination attempt on a Saudi ambassador in the United States was planned right here in South Texas and in Reynosa.

Two cousins, Manssor Arbabsiar and Gholam Shakuri, and a group of Iranians came up with a plan to kill Saudi ambassador Adel al Jubair. One of them met a DEA informant in Reynosa.

We started digging into Arbabsiar’s background and here’s what we found out. He has dual citizenship; he is an American and an Iranian. He has a Texas driver’s license and lives in Round Rock. His roommate may be a man from Mexico.

Federal prosecutors say Arbabsiar met twice in July with a DEA informant in Reynosa. He thought the informant was a Zeta Cartel member. Investigators say he negotiated a $1.5 million payment for the assassination of the Saudi ambassador. He didn’t know he was putting the money in an FBI undercover bank account.

“This case illustrates we live in a world where borders and boundaries are increasingly irrelevant, a world where individuals from one country sought to conspire with a drug cartel in another country to assassinate a foreign official on U.S. soil. And though it reads like a Hollywood script, the impact would have been very real and many lives would have been lost,” says FBI Director Robert Mueller.

Investigators say Shakuri, the other cousin, is on the run. Investigators say they have no idea where he is. They know he was getting his assassination orders directly from the Iranian government. Federal investigators believe he is hiding somewhere in Iran.

According to a federal criminal complaint, Shakuri is a member of Iran’s special forces called the Qods, though it’s also sometimes spelled Quds. The Qods are a faction of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

The revolutionary guard is an arm of the Iranian military. According to the feds, the Qods conduct covert operations abroad, including terrorist attacks, assasinations and kidnappings. They provide weapons and training to Iran’s terrorist and militant allies, including the Taliban.

The Qods are also accused of carrying out attacks on coalition forces in Iraq. Experts say the Qods are also connected to Hezbollah. That’s significant because Hezbollah is funded by the Iranian government. Hezbollah is a very sophisticated terrorist organization. We’ve told you Hezbollah has operations in Mexican border towns, including Reynosa. …source
