Iran president rejects US plot claims

---

TEHRAN, Oct 16 (AFP): President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad today denied US allegations that Iran was involved in a plot to kill the Saudi envoy to Washington, insisting that "assassination belongs to you Americans." "The cultured people of Iran do not need to resort to assassination," the state television website quoted Ahmadinejad as telling a gathering of schoolchildren in Tehran. His comments reinforced fierce denials made by other Iranian officials since Washington first made the allegations Tuesday.
