that man, gholam shakuri, has now been charged in the case but he's still in iran so he's not in custody. u.s. officials, though, said they monitored numerous phone calls between arbabsiar and shakuri in recent weeks. prosecutors say just a week ago agents listened in as arbabsiar encouraged shakuri to move quickly with the plot saying "just do it quickly, it's late." >> pelley: bob, i wonder, how did officials take arbabsiar into custody? >> it's a great story. he was tricked into going mexico last month to allegedly meet with the hit squad. he was told, in fact, he'd be held as personal collateral until the murder contract could be paid in full but when he got to mexico the authorities were in on the sting so they shipped him to new york and the f.b.i. was waiting, scott. >> pelley: bob, thanks very much. after his arrest, arbabsiar was held in secret, that is until today when he was taken to federal court in lower manhattan. michelle miller is there. >> reporter: manssor arbabsiar, scott, was escorted into that courtroom by federal marshals, he was not wearing handcuffs. the walls of

manssor arbabsiar and gholam shakuri are charged with murder for hire and conspiracy to commit terrorism. eric holder says a special forces unit is behind the scene. >> this was sponsored and was directed from ciran. >> authorities say manssor arbabsiar posed as a member of the mexican drug cartel. they planned on bombing the saudi arabian embassy in washington because they had no regard for their intended victim or for innocent citizens that might have been hurt or killed in this attempted assassination. >> the assassination plot was meant to be the first in a series of attacks. he would not go into detail about the other planned attacks. nikole killion reporting in washington. >> dutch ruppersberger released a statement saying the alleged plot crosses the line in iran- state sponsorship of terrorism. he says this is another example of a long history of what it already government cannot be trusted and shot have access to nuclear weapons. that brings us to our water cooler question of the day. does the latest foiled terror plot on american soil make you feel more, or less safe? you can s

the other suspect, and gholam shakuri, is at large. they are saying this is nothing but a child story to distract from the u.s.'s on domestic problems. >> not everyone thinks this is a child's tail. security is tight at the saudi arabian embassy right now where chris van cleve is live tonight. word is spreading quickly about the intended target. >> it surprised a lot of people. let me give you what we just received in a statement. "the attempted plot is a despicable violation of international standards and conventions and is not in accord with the standards of humanity." just looking at the building, we do not see any visible changes in security, but we have seen some fbi agents come and go. inside, we understand to be a very secure facility. the people coming in and out admitted that it was shocking news. >> thank god that everything was uncovered before any damage was done. >> i come here every day, so i am concerned. to find out something like this was getting ready to go on? it makes you scared to go to work. >> we have also receiv

government was not just burhanuddin rabbani, but also gholam shakuri, which according to mr.is that so? >> look, i do not know the exact name, but my point is the whole issue is a fabrication against iran. so the issue is not the name of some people that was, you know, accused or publicized by the media. in my view, and in my government's view, it is the most absurd thing ever to implicate iran in an assassination plot in the united states. therefore, i have to make the statement that we strongly reject this shameless accusation and warn the american public to be vigilant about such vicious campaigns which are definitely aimed at furthering political pressure against my country. this is the main point. >> thank you very much for calling in and making your point, given the iranian take on the story. mr. khazahee which is the permanent representative to the united nations in new york. we will have more on the terror plot after the break. e collar or no collars. we are business in america. and every day we awake to the same challenges. but at prudential we're helping companies e

gholam shakuri is the second defendant, still at large. there are other alleged co-conspirators. you have the mullahs and the ayatollahs and president ahmadinejad and the quds, what i call the special police, rev unusualna revolutionary guard. can the regime say if somebody was freelancing, is it possible in n. that society? >> i don't think so, but everything is possible. and i think at this stage in iran, ahmadinejad is finding himself fragile and rather isolated with very difficult relationships with other leadership entities inside the country. in that respect the struggle and competition for leadership and influence might potentially lead one entity to operate independently from another. although it would be hard to believe that at this level of complexity if this alleged plot is proven to be true, that it -- that the qud forces did operate independently. >> help me from an intelligence standpoint when the justice department comes up and i assume other intelligence as sets coming up to brief how they put this together if they were trying this, what are your questions about w

the second man, gholam shakuri who works for special operations forces based in iran. here's how it allegedly all went down. back in may, arbabsiar allegedly flew to mexico to meet with who he thought was a member of a violent international drug cartel. it turns out that person was an undercover dea agent. now, the dea agent worked out a plan with arbabsiar allegedly to blow up the ambassador here in the united states at one of his local favorite restaurants. the charge for that would be $1.5 million to conduct that plot. then in august with the approval of shakuri who was based in iran, arbabsiar allegedly went forward with that plan and wired a down payment of $100,000. well, then in september when they were trying to put that plan into works, arbabsiar flew to mexico. the country did not allow him in. he had to return to where he came from. when he tried to get on his connecting flight in new york at jfk airport, he was arrested by authorities there. let's hear from u.s. attorney general eric holder. >> the complaint alleges that this conspiracy was conceived, was s

government was not just burhanuddin rabbani, but also gholam shakuri, which according to mr.nuddin rabbani is a senior member of the iranian revolutionary guard corps. is that so? >> look, i do not know the exact name, but my point is the whole issue is a fabrication against iran. so the issue is not the name of some people that was, you know, accused or publicized by the media. in my view, and in my government's view, it is the most absurd thing ever to implicate iran in an assassination plot in the united states. therefore, i have to make the statement that we strongly reject this shameless accusation and warn the american public to be vigilant about such vicious campaigns which are definitely aimed at furthering political pressure against my country. this is the main point. >> thank you very much for calling in and making your point, given the iranian take on the story. mr. khazahee which is the permanent representative to the united nations in new york. we will have more on the terror plot after the break. okay, so you mean you just ignore the environment. actually, it's

district of new york, arbabsiar is alleged to have orchestrated a $1.5 million assassination plot with gholamkuri, an iranian-based member of the qods force, and other iranian co- conspirators. the qods force is a unit of the iranian islamic revolutionary guard corps. it is also suspected of sponsoring attacks against the coalition forces in iraq and was designated by the department of treasury in 2007 for providing material support to the taliban and other terrorist organizations. the complaint alleges that this conspiracy was conceived, sponsored and directed from iran and constitutes a flagrant violation of u.s. and international law, including a convention that explicitly protects diplomats from being harmed. in addition to holding these individual conspirators accountable for their alleged role in this plot, the united states is committed to holding iran accountable for its actions. arbabsiar and shakuri are charged with conspiracy to murder a foreign official, conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and conspiracy to commit an act of international terrorism, among other charges.
