More on the thwarted plot by Iranian elements to attack Saudi Envoy to US and Saudi and Israeli embassies in US and elsewhere.

One of those named has links to the IRGC. The other is still on the loose.

CNN is live bogging this story…

[Posted at 2:19 p.m. ET] FBI Director Robert Mueller said the alleged terror plot involving Iran “reads like the pages of a Hollywood script.”

“This case illustrates that we live in a world where borders and bounadries are increasingly irrelevant,” Mueller said.

[Posted at 2:14 p.m. ET] An alleged plot - involving Iran - to commit terrorism inside the United States “is a fabrication,” Ali Akbar Javanfekr, spokesman for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, said Tuesday.

Javanfekr said the Iranian government is awaiting details, but suggested U.S. authorities are attempting to distract American citizens from “domestic problems” by convincing them there is an outside threat.

[Posted at 2:12 p.m. ET] An FBI agent’s affidavit obtained by CNN Tuesday accused two men of conspiring to murder Saudi Ambassador Adel Al-Jubeir.

The complaint alleges that Manssor Arbabsiar and Gholam Shakuri began a plot this past spring to kill Al-Jubeir.

Attorney General Eric Holder said in a news conference that the terror plot was a $1.5 million dollar “murder for hire” plan.

Officials also said one of the suspects told an informant that killing civilians, including senators, during the attack was “no problem” and “no big deal.”
