'The incident on September 22 as the result of which a number of our countrymen and women, particularly children and war-wounded, was a plot drawn by the US and the terrorists created by it,' Hossein Ashtari said Wednesday addressing the 9th meeting of Iran's police with ambassadors, chargés d'affaires and representatives of the international organizations.
