Officials arrested a man at John F. Kennedy Airport they say was involved in a plot to kill the Saudi ambassador to the U.S.
U.S. officials tell NBC News that two Iranians have been indicted on charges that they plotted to kill Ambassador Adel al Jubeir.
One of the suspects was arrested at JFK on Sept. 29.
The arrest is the result of a sting operation conducted by the FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration.
The lead suspect approached a DEA informant in May asking for help from the Zetas drug cartel to assassinate the Saudi ambassador, according to senior law enforcement officials.
The DEA brought in the FBI, who set up the sting.
