Two Americans to Be Freed – Iran Ambassador

Iran's ambassador to Iraq Hassan Dannaie-Far has told the Associated Press in an interview that Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, the two American hikers held in Iran on espionage charges, will be released during Ramadan. The Islamic holy month began on Monday and ends on or about 29 August [AP, 4 August].

Bauer, Fattal and a third American, Sarah Shourd, were arrested in July 2009 after they said they mistakenly crossed into Iran while hiking in Iraq. Shourd was released on bail last September.

Is that the reason the Iranian government is trying hard for their release? Boy, you're a very confused person with hatred that runs deep..Keep it up,though..
