Plot To Kill Putin In Teheran Disclosed. Iran Dismisses Report As 'Baseless'

Russian special services have been warned of a plot to assassinate President Vladimir Putin during a visit to Iran tomorrow, Interfax news agency said yesterday.

Iran's Foreign Ministry dismissed the report as totally baseless and calculated by Tehran's enemies — an apparent reference to Western powers — to undermine Russian-Iranian relations.

Interfax said security services had been told that suicide bombers and kidnappers were training to kill or capture Putin on his visit.

"A reliable source in one of the Russian special services, has received information from several sources that during the president of Russia's visit to Tehran an assassination attempt is being plotted," the report said.
