Iran says US claim of plot has 'no legal logic'

[The Northerner]

TEHRAN, Iran—Iran's Foreign Ministry dismissed U.S. accusations that Tehran was involved in a plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, saying Saturday the claims had no "legal logic."

The ministry said in a statement on the state news agency that the Iranian government has no connection to Manssor Arbabsiar, the man arrested in the alleged plot. It derided the claims, saying U.S. officials have put forward no proof.

"Unilaterally announcing accusations without showing documentation and creating a media wave against Iran is in no way compatible with legal logic, and can only be a purely media and political show," it said.

It said the accusations were "put together based on statements, guesses and suppositions by individuals involved in drug smuggling" would never stand up in a "proper, neutral courtroom."
