Iran Seizes another American on Spy Charges

Why do idiot NON Islamic people go to a country that can seize them and lop off their heads without any remorse?  The Islamic religion in Iran and other Muslim countries is not compatible with the Western style countries.  After their oil runs out, they will need to be isolated and marooned.  Let their religion dictate their future.  They will end up killing one another and the West will be more fortunate. I hope.. I see that Iran is a country that needs to protect it's borders.  Why can't the USA protect it's borders.........lakotahope

Iran: American Woman Detained on Spy Charges

Iranian authorities have detained a 55-year-old American woman on spying charges, a state-owned newspaper reported Thursday.

The daily IRAN said Hall Talayan had spying equipment hidden on her body when customs authorities detained her in the border town of Nordouz, 370 miles northwest of the capital Tehran. The report said Talayan arrived in Iran from neighboring Armenia without a visa. It did not say when she was detained.

Talayan is the fourth American Iran has arrested and accused of spying in less than two years.

U.S. State Department officials could not immediately confirm the report early Thursday.

In July 2009, Iran detained three Americans who were initially accused of crossing the border illegally from northern Iraq and later accused of spying.

The U.S. has dismissed the spying charges and says the three are innocent hikers. Their families have said if they crossed the border at all, it was inadvertent.

One of the three, Sarah Shourd, was released in September on compassionate grounds. Her fiance, Shane Bauer, and friend Josh Fattal remain in prison and could go on trial next month.
