Person Who Allegedly was Plotting to Kill Saudi Prince Lives Close By in a Small Suburb

So the story on Manssor Arbabsiar came out yesterday.  He was one of the guys who was allegedly plotting to kill the Saudi Prince.

Here is the story to it.  Anyways, it came out that he lived in Round Rock, TX.  Now this is the same lace I live.  It is far from a small town.  It is a suburb of Austin of about 100,000 people.  Still, I do not think much of world espionage starting down in Round Rock, TX.

So, to put this in perspective, Manssor is allegedly working for Iran, which is like 7200 miles away.

He was supposedly trying to work with a drug cartel from Mexico.  Now that makes a little more sense for proximity.

From what I have read the plan was to kill the Saudi Prince in a public place near Washington D.C. and then potentially bomb the embassy there.

Round Rock seems like a long ways from these places, but I guess since there are direct flights from Austin to D.C. and New York, it makes travel easy.  Also, with all of the technology around now for communication, it makes it easy to hide and still communicate.

I do not know if this guy did anything or not, but I do find it scary that it is even plausible that something like this could be run out of Round Rock, TX.
