Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Sunday denied the US allegations that Iran was involved in a plot to kill the Saudi envoy to Washington, insisting that assassination is a tactic which belongs to the White House.\"The cultured people of Iran do not need to resort to assassination,\" Ahmadinejad said. His remarks alluded to the accusations leveled against Iran by the US Justice Department on Oct. 11 that the country has sponsored a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia\'s ambassador to Washington. Iran has strongly rejected the allegations, saying that the US has fabricated such a scenario in a bid to sow discord among the regional nations and divert the world nations\' attention from Wall Street protests. His comments reinforced the strong denials made by other Iranian officials since Washington first made the allegations on Tuesday. Yesterday, Iran\'s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei slammed the US accusations as \"absurd.\" \"They (the US) are trying hard to push the anti-Iran campaign and in this phase they have accused Iran of assassination, but we must make them to understand that assassination is the work of an uncultured people. \"One day they impose a war, the next they impose economic sanctions and the next, political pressure,\" he added.
