US vows to hold Iran accountable over ‘death plot’

THE United States warned yesterday it would hold Tehran accountable after foiling an alleged high-level Iranian plot to kill Saudi Arabia’s ambassador to Washington.

“It is an outrageous act, where the Iranians will have to be held accountable,” US Vice President Joe Biden told ABC television’s Good Morning America programme.

“The first thing we do is make sure the entire world and all of the capitals in the world understand what the Iranians had in mind,” Biden said.
