Default Five Americans freed from Iran in $6bn prisoner swap

[Five Americans jailed for years in Iran
and widely regarded as hostages are
on their way home to the United States.

The last pieces in a controversial swap
mediated by Qatar fell into place when
$6bn (£4.8bn) of Iranian funds held in South Korea
reached banks in Doha.
It triggered the departure of the four
American men and one woman in Tehran,
who are also Iranian citizens,
on a chartered flight to Qatar's capital.
They were met by senior US officials
and will be flown later to Washington.
The Americans include 51-year-old
businessman Siamak Namazi,
who has spent nearly eight years in
Tehran's notorious Evin prison,
as well as businessman Emad Shargi, 59,
and environmentalist Morad Tahbaz, 67,
who also holds British nationality.
