Iran releases American hiker from prison
TEHRAN, Iran — American hiker Sarah Shourd was released from an Iranian prison on Tuesday after being held for more than a year under suspicion of spying, NBC News reported.

Shourd, 32, was among one of three Americans apprehended by Iranian security forces near the border with northern Iraq in July 2009.

Her release came a day after Shourd's family countered a $500,000 bail request with a plea for Iran to drop or lower the sum because they were struggling to raise the cash.
