Iranian Leader Says Alleged Assassination Plot "Absurd"

Teheran, October 18 (KCNA) -- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Saturday that the alleged Iranian involvement in a plot of assassinating the Saudi ambassador to the U.S. is "absurd" and "meaningless", the semi- official Mehr news agency reported.

These "absurd" and "meaningless" charges will further lead to U. S. global isolation, said Khamenei.

They tried to find an excuse to mount a propaganda campaign to present Iran as the supporter of terrorism through leveling accusations against several Iranians, he said, adding but their plot fell flat like their other actions, he was quoted by Mehr as saying.
