WASHINGTON, Oct 17, 2011 (IPS) - Officials of the Barack Obama
administration have aggressively leaked information supposedly based on
classified intelligence in recent days to bolster its allegation that
two higher-ranking officials from Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps
(IRGC) were involved in a plot to assassinate Saudi Ambassador Adel
al-Jubeir in Washington, D.C.
The media stories generated by the leaks helped divert press attention from the fact that there is no verifiable evidence of any official Iranian involvement in the alleged assassination plan, contrary to the broad claim being made by the administration.
