TEHRAN, Iran (AP) - Iran has arrested three Americans for illegally entering the country from neighboring Iraq and a prominent Iranian lawmaker said Tuesday that authorities were investigating whether to charge them with spying.
A U.S. official rejected the allegation, and a security official in Iraq said the three - freelance journalist Shane Bauer, his girlfriend Sarah Shourd and Joshua Fattal - were hiking in a region of Iraq's northern Kurdish region near the Iranian border.
