Iran's envoy to the United Nations has confirmed that a female American held for more than a year will be released.
Iran had earlier announced that one of the three Americans captured by Iran in July 2009 would be released to mark the holidays at the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Bak Sahraei, second counselor of the UN mission confirmed Thursday in an e-mail that Sarah Shourd would be the one set free on Saturday.

Have they added the “if you stop the Pastor from burning the koran” part yet?

Well good news for her. But why a sane person would go hiking in Iran is beyond me.
To: ButThreeLeftsDo
I think they’re worried she might really be sick & they don’t want her dying on them or having to spend resources treating her.

Yeah, I think that it’s pretty well known that she has some serious health issues, too.
To: ButThreeLeftsDo
It is great that she is being released.
Sadly, she will be stupid for the rest of her life (as will her 2 companions). Next time, they should choose a safer place to hike like North Korea.
One takes what small victories one can.

I’m sorry, but if you’re a female who’s hiking in the middle of Iran, well...

Sarah Shroud is a leftist idiot. She thought that the Iranians would give her flowers and would be sympathetic towards her and her companions.

They were hiking in Iraq, close to the Iranian border. I think they were spotted by Iranians and ‘escorted’ over the border into Iran.

They were all bitter America-hating Rachel Corrie types.
Also, never do a crime with a chick, they always cut a deal to turn states evidence, and you’ll get the chair.

Wherever they were, they were there to comfort Islam, and attack the USA and Israel.
