Assasination plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to U.S

The U.S   discovered a plot involving top members of the Iranian government and their plans to assassinate the Saudi Ambassador to U.S. According to the New York  Post , an American based used car dealer Mr. Arbabsiar was used as a middle man between the Iran radical group named the AlQods and a Mexican drug cartel named Los zetas. Mr. Arbabsiar was recruited by his  cousin Shakuri , a top member of the radical group to contract a hit man from the vicious drug cartel to carry out the job. The sum of 1.5 million was offered to the cartel for the job in exchange for the murder plot and also for the bombings of U.S embassies abroad.

 Unknown to them the DEA  already knew about their disastrous plan and had began to work against their plan. They planted a DEA to work as the supposed hitman. The first payment was made in the sum of $100,000 followed by other transactions .  One of the things that shocked security agents was when the supposed hitman informed  Arbabsiar that innocent civilians might get hurts as a result of the plan . His response sent fears down the spines of the agency.  He said fuck’em, if hundred and fifty people die , then they die. The agency quickly arrested Mr. Arbabsiar and he quickly co-operated with security agents .  Another news source, The NewYork times gives the same story about the incident . There were some differences in from the two news sources even though the focus on the same main point. The New York post gave time lines and also showed pictures of the alleged suspect. They even went further ahead to provide information from the secretary of the state.  The New York Times on the other hand delivered the same message but on the paper we see the white house releasing statement about the discovered plot. We also get information about the President Obama calling the Saudi Ambassador to give him the assurance that the U.S is behind him . Also from the Times , we also see that that the suspect Mr. Arbabsar also waived his right to be quickly brough before a judge.

            The two newspapers did a god job in covering the article but when you read them both , you would see that  The Times provided more information than The Post.  The times dug deeper and provided more valuable information such as the white house comments and also provided us with information about the suspect waiving his right.
