A Senior Pakistani intelligence official revealed Sunday that the Iranian-American citizen Manssor Arbabsiar, who has been accused by the US of an elaborate plot to kill the Saudi ambassador in Washington, had received fake ID documents from the "Israeli" Mossad agency three months ago.

The Pakistani Urdu-language daily, Nation, quoted the Pakistani official as saying on the condition of anonymity that "Arbabsiar was due to conduct an operation named Foss Fling for the Mossad."

"Mansor is an Iran-American and the US ties with Iran are not normal and good to let him go unmonitored by the US spy agencies; therefore, Iran is totally unlikely to use an individual for assassinating the Saudi ambassador, who is closely monitored by the US intelligence agencies," the Pakistani intelligence official told the "Nation".

In a new plot against Tehran, the US officials alleged on Tuesday that Tehran had intended to assassinate a Saudi envoy.

Meanwhile, the Iranian Foreign Ministry dismissed the US accusations for a third time, and stressed that the claims had no "legal rationale."

The ministry stressed in its statement that the Iranian government has no connection to Arbabsiar.

The statement further derided the claims, saying that "US officials have put forward no proof."
"Unilaterally announcing accusations without showing documentation and creating a media wave against Iran is in no way compatible with legal logic, and can only be a purely media and political show," it said.
