Turkey casts doubt on alleged Iran plot


ANKARA (Reuters) - NATO member and close U.S. ally Turkey cast doubt on Friday over allegations that Iranian agents plotted to kill the Saudi ambassador in Washington, saying it did not believe Iran would be engaged in such an act.

"We don't believe that Iran would be engaged in such an act, but America says they have evidence," Ahmet Davutolgu, Turkey's foreign minister, told a joint news conference with his visiting Iranian counterpart Ali Akbar Salehi.
