Alleged Iran Terror Plot

This article is about a recent operation that lead to the capture of Manssor Arbabsiar, an Iranian-American who apparently conspired the assassination of the Saudi Arabian ambassador to the US. Not having kept up with recent news regarding Iran, I'm having trouble understanding the reasoning here as it would seem counter-productive. A Confidential Source deemed "CS-1", is the main, and probably only, witness. CS-1 was himself caught for a narcotics offense and now works as an informant. This particular article takes a legal perspective of the court proceedings rather than giving us any international implications.
