U.S. Asks Iran About Missing Man

WASHINGTON, April 2 (Reuters) — The United States is asking Iran to provide information about an American citizen believed to have vanished several weeks ago in Iran while on private business, the State Department said Monday.

The State Department spokesman, Sean McCormack, said that the family and employer of the man had reported him missing, and that the department was sending an official inquiry to Iran on Monday via Swiss diplomats, who act as a go-between with Iran because the two countries do not have diplomatic relations.

The man is believed to have disappeared from Kish Island south of Iran. He was not identified. State Department officials said he retired from the Federal Bureau of Investigation some years ago and no longer worked for the government.
