Americans Sarah Shourd, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal were detained by Iranian authorities on July 31, 2009, while hiking along the Iran-Iraq border, and accused of spying. After more than a year in captivity, Shourd was released in September due to health problems. Bauer and Fattal, meanwhile, could reportedly be released within a "couple of days," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Sept. 13, 2011.
