Iran releases US men jailed as spies

  • 12 years ago
Two US men who had been held as spies in Iran for more than two years have been released on bail from their Tehran jail.

Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal left Tehran's Evin prison on Wednesday, shortly after their lawyer Masoud Shafiei said he had completed the paperwork for their release.

They arrived in Oman several hours later, the AP news agency reported, where their families were waiting to greet them.
