US police arrest journalist working for Iran's state TV
DUBAI - US police have arrested an American-born journalist working for Iran's English-language Press TV on unspecified charges, the state-run broadcaster reported on Wednesday.
Press TV said Marziyeh Hashemi was arrested at St. Louis Lambert International Airport on Sunday and was sent to custody in Washington DC, but no formal charges have been made against her.
Hashemi was in the United States to visit her family, the broadcaster said, and was allowed to call her daughter two days after her arrest.
