crew that had been working on another story comes across as khobar in the bush. the subsequent interview is a major scoop of the first time a european media has ever filmed the drug trafficker. on the camera escobar goes to some lengths to justify himself and. some possible life. we have to realize that we're living through the cocaine period cocaine is invading the world why because it's a drug that's less strong or less damaging than the on those who are drug addicts because of a lack of educational and discipline as we did he mean it's the same without culture there's no difference between someone sleeping on the sidewalk because of drink or because of drugs illegal or not because. the godfather goes on to pick up part of the american arguments against the cocaine trade for no see like ok right now it's cocaine that's considered dangerous evil because the americans can't control it because it's the colombians of produce that that's the real problem. and that same year the medina cocktail ships out three hundred kilograms a day of cocaine into the united states

four against a jewish community center and then in one thousand nine hundred sixty four bombing the khobar towers. billet for servicemen killing a number of americans and not attacked. i have investigated both of the. those cases very carefully and have discovered that the official. the official version in both cases is highly misleading and the case that was made against iran in both of those instances or all three perhaps i should say really doesn't hold up under scrutiny so i think that this is in line with or cons as a nother in a series of cases which really we're we're not we're not honest or i said just quickly thank you explain what is the what is the motive behind these questionable questionable allegations from behalf of the u.s. well i mean at this moment it's too soon to to really say what what actually happened i think that there are two plausible possible explanations for this one is that there was indeed a an ira g.c. faction which wanted to disrupt iranian policy for the united states to prevent any possible agreement with the united states the other one which i'd actually

the khobar tower bombing of the u.s. service members in saudi arabia in 1996. so there you have a very nasty history with us. and more recently, they have been arming shia militias in iraq and even the taliban who were their sworn enemies. just so they can kill more american soldiers in afghanistan. so they -- they have been a problem for a long time. but this is kind of an escalation. >> the iranian inspired or paid for attack on u.s. soil would be a significant increase in intensity and, you know, threat. what we've seen from them before. why would they want to kill the saudi ambassador here? >> there is an increasingly hot cold war going on between the saudis and iran pretty much cooked off by the whole arab spring situation. it has destablized the whole region. anyone sitting on their throne in the middle east feels very threatened. the saudis thought the iranians were behind a lot of the shia protests in bahrain. and didn't appreciate that. and sent their troops into bahrain. the iranians think that the saudis have been too quick to call for the assad to s

>> remember, iran was behind the attack at khobar towers killing u.s. servicemen in saudi arabia. so this is not new for them, right? the use of terrorism is a tool of their foreign policy. it's interesting when you read the complaint, while iran may be calling u.s. allegations a provocation, let's remember the individual they do have in custody, not only confessed, he is -- he acknowledges that he transferred almost $100,000 in furtherance of the plot, that his handlers he leabelieved to in the quds force. the u.s. government confirmed that. and treasury has named at least two qud force members at very top for sanctions related to this plot. this is more than a mere provocation. there are real facts and real details that the u.s. government has confirmed and furtherance of this plot and pled in the allegations, and now has confirms by the individual they have in kusz did. >> the individual in custody is manssor arbasiar. he's in custody. gholam shakuri is the second defendant, still at large. there are other alleged co-conspirators. you have the mullahs and the ayatollahs and pre

in the past, khobar towers, the bombings in argentina and 92 and 94 have been timed and tied back to the only ibm and quds force, the high levels of leadership and the iranian national security council. i go into that in detail in a written. the fact is u.s. intelligence assessed in august 1990 that iran had been on civil response to numerous attacks against the past year and assess at the iranian terrorist attacks carried out in 89, 90 were, and a quote, probably approved in advance by the president and other senior iranian leaders. we will likely find something along those lines here, too. by what they carry out attacks now? there's all kinds of reasons. the saudi ambassador reportedly was quoted in wikileaks that came out in the press as saying that the saudi king told u.s. officials we should do something against tehran. tensions between the u.s. and iran are at least as high now as they were in the 1980s and it can 90s. the revolutionary radical elements within iran are in the same. all the things going on that lead to increased attacks are going on now and there was a shadow wa
