UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - April 20, 2012 -  A U.N. Security Council committee has expanded its Iran blacklist to include two Iranian individuals and one firm for attempting to skirt U.N. sanctions by shipping arms to Africa in 2010, the U.S. envoy to the United Nations said on Friday.
 
"The individuals listed today helped plan a weapons shipment - intercepted by Nigeria in 2010 - in violation of existing U.N. sanctions," U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice said in a statement.

"Both individuals and this company are tied to the Qods Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the group that directs Iranian support for terrorism and extremism worldwide," she said.

Council adopts restrictive measures following the foiled plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the US

Following the foiled plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the US, the Council today subjected five persons to EU restrictive measures aimed at combating terrorism.

This means that their financial assets in the EU will be frozen and that no funds may be made available to them. Member states will afford each other the widest possible assistance with respect to enquiries related to these individuals.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On Friday, 14 October 2011, the Iran Policy Committee (IPC) held a press conference at the National Press Club. The goal was to reveal the scope of operation and involvement of the Iranian regime's Qods Force in international terrorism, particularly as this deadly force was involved in a foiled plot to assassinate Saudi Ambassador to the United States, Adel al-Jubeir.

The United States filed a criminal complaint of 11 October 2011 in the Southern District of New York that charges Mansour Arbabsiar, a 56-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen holding both Iranian and U.S. passports, and Gholam Shakuri, an Iran-based member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps-Qods Force (IRGC-QF). In October 2007, the U.S. Treasury Department designated the Qods Force for providing material support to the Taliban and other terrorist organizations.

NCRI - On Monday, October 17, fearful of the escalating international wrath and hatred of the criminal assassination plot of the Saudi Arabian Ambassador and the planned explosions of foreign embassies in the United States, the mullahs' Intelligence Ministry (MOIS) claimed that the co-culprit in this plot has been a PMOI member.

Following to the disclosure of new details of activities by the terrorist Qods Force in Europe and United States, Mehr website affiliated with the MOIS, in an utterly bogus report wrote: "The co-culprit in the alleged assassination plot of the Saudi Ambassador, is one of the principal members of the PMOI that has travelled to various countries using Iranian passports and other fabricated identity documents."
