TEHRAN:  Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said, on Monday, that an alleged plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the United States was fabricated by Washington to cause a rift between Tehran and Saudi Arabia, and to divert attention from US economic problems.

"By accusing Iran they are not going to achieve anything," Ahmadinejad said in a live interview on Al Jazeera television.

When asked whether he thought Iran and the United States were on an inevitable "collision course" towards military conflict, he replied: "I don't think so.

"I think that there are some people in the US administration who want this to happen but I think there are wise people in the US administration who know they shouldn't do such a thing."

Cautious | 12 years ago | Reply Ahmadinejad has lost control of the fanatics. Iran is going to be held accountable for it's fanatics and all the anti American ranting isn't going to change the fact that it is highly likely that the Iranian/American who was caught is going to plead guilty and rat out his Iranian cohorts.
