U.S. Frees Iranians From Iraq
-----------------------------



In Iraq, the U.S. military has unexpectedly released five Iranians after
holding them for two and a half years. After their release, the men
personally met with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki before
being handed over to the Iranian Embassy. The U.S. had accused the men
of orchestrating deadly attacks in Iraq.
