• This story happened before several years ago when the US government created a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States and then tried to find someone they could sell it to. If my memory is right, they managed to convince some Iranian drug lord in Mexico to send them money for it, at which point they claimed that the Iranian government attempted to assassinate the ambassador.

    I didn’t even have to open this article to expect that it was an FBI plot, and sure enough that’s what it says at the top of the page. The article also mentions the previous operation with the Saudi ambassador. Oddly enough, this new one also has something related to Mexican cartels.

    While I’m glad there was no assassination attempt, I’m always saddened to be reminded, that John Bolton exists.
