Woman must return to Iran

IRAN has ordered an American woman to return to the country and stand trial alongside two other Americans accused of spying.

Woman must return to Iran

The Americans were arrested on July 31, 2009, after crossing the border from northern Iraq’s scenic Kurdish region, where their families say they were vacationing and hiking.

Since her release on bail in September, Sarah Shourd has said they did not intentionally cross the unmarked border. She returned to the US after 14 months in a Tehran jail.
