Iran allegedly plotted to assassinate Irwin Cotler, a noted Canadian human-rights advocate and harsh critic of the clerical regime, but the attempt on his life was recently foiled by law-enforcement authorities.
… The Federal Bureau of Investigation has also been in touch with Mr. Cotler about the unsealing of an indictment in New York involving an Iranian murder-for-hire operation, the source said. Although not mentioned in the indictment, the source said Mr. Cotler was told by the FBI that his name came up in its probe.
Sounds like the US uncovered the plot and informed Canada.
