Iranian man and 2 Canadians are charged in a murder-for-hire plot on US soil
An Iranian man who federal prosecutors say operates a criminal network that targets dissidents and activists abroad has been charged alongside a pair of Canadians with plotting to kill two people, including a defector from Iran, who had fled to the United States.
The criminal case unsealed Monday is part of what officials have described as a single out dissidents and defectors for campaigns of harassment, intimidation and sometimes violence.
