The man had thought he was working with a member of the Zetas Cartel, which the U.S. government has called the most dangerous drug cartel in Mexico.
The DEA then brought in the FBI when the terror implications became apparent. Arbabsiar said he was “directed by high ranking members of the Iranian government” including a cousin who was “a member of the Iranian army but did not wear a uniform.” Officials said they think the cousin may be a member of the special operations unit of the Revolutionary Guard, ABC News wrote.
Arbabsiar reportedly showed “utter disregard for collateral damage” in his planned bomb attacks, officials said.
Arbabsiar met twice in July with the informant in Mexico, agreeing to a $1.5 million payment for the assassination. Officials told ABC News Arbabsiar wired $49,960 in August to an FBI undercover bank after he had gone back to Iran.
He allegedly also said his Iranian government contacts could offer “tons of opium” to the cartels.
On Sept. 28, Arbabsiar flew from Iran to Mexico City, but was refused entry and sent to New York City, where he was arrested.
