Two Americans Detained in Iran Are Not Coming Home
(Washington Post) Adam Goldman - Authorities in Tehran said they would not be freeing Siamak Namazi, 44, an Iranian-American businessman based in Dubai who was arrested in October, and were silent on the fate of former FBI agent Robert Levinson. The U.S. suspected the Iranian security services were behind Levinson's abduction, according to a diplomatic cable disclosed by WikiLeaks. The CIA ultimately concluded that it was responsible for Levinson while he was in Iran and paid $2.5 million to his wife. Three years ago the Levinson family received a 54-second video and later pictures of him shackled and dressed in an orange jumpsuit. "I am not in good health," he said in the video.
