U.N. adopts resolution condemning alleged Iranian terror plot

The U.N. General Assembly adopted a resolution Friday condemning an alleged Iranian plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States.

The resolution, which was introduced by Saudi Arabia, doesn't directly accuse Iran of involvement but calls on the country "to comply with all of its obligations under international law" and to cooperate in "seeking to bring to justice" the people who allegedly plotted to kill the envoy.

U.S. officials in October accused Manssor Arbabsiar, a 56-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen, and Gholam Shakuri, an Iran-based member of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, of conspiring to hire hit men from a Mexican drug cartel to bomb a restaurant where the Saudi ambassador would have been. Authorities developed the case against the suspects with the help of an undercover informant posing as an associate of a Mexican drug cartel, according to officials and an FBI agent's affidavit.
