Lisa Karpova: Ahmadinejad's Take on Libya: "Murder is your Thing"

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad reacted to the release by the US government that accused Tehran of sponsoring a terrorist plot in the United States, and used the occasion to blame Washington for the frequent bilateral crises. "The Iranian nation does not need educated articulate plans for murder. Murder is YOUR thing," said Ahmadinejad, speaking at the Iranian Parliament. The Iranian President's remarks were reported by the official news agency, IRNA. The onslaught from the leader responds to US charges that the Islamic Republic would be behind the plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador in Washington, Adel al-Jubeir. Ahmadinejad said the US is seeking "to create a new crisis every day with Iran, accusing it of terrorism." For him, the American accusations are merely an attempt to try and stop the development of Iran. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Iran said in a statement that the US accusations "have no legal basis" and they only seek to "exacerbate tensions in the region" in the Middle East and "undermine international security"."They unilaterally announce charges against an Iranian in the United States, without providing documents, and create a media campaign against Iran that has no legal basis," the Ministry said.
