Mothers of 3 detained Americans arrive in Iran
None
The mothers of three jailed Americans brought appeals for their freedom to Iran on Wednesday on a mission that could be complicated by diplomatic showdowns over Iran's suspect nuclear program.
The three women are scheduled to visit their children - who have been held since July when they were arrested along the Iraqi border - and seek meetings with top Iranian officials. Iran's state-run Press TV said Iran granted the weeklong visas on an "Islamic humanitarian basis." (AP)
