TEHRAN — Two Americans jailed as spies in Iran have been released from a Tehran prison accompanied by Omani officials and are en route to the airport, a diplomatic source told Reuters Wednesday. It was not yet known where they would head from Tehran International Airport.

Earlier Wednesday, the Iranian attorney for the two, Masoud Shafiei, said he planned to go to Tehran's Evin prison to begin the procedure for the release of Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, both 29.

"The case is over," Shafiei said. "The court has ordered that they be freed on bail."

Shafiei told Reuters that he had obtained the "necessary signatures from judiciary officials for their release."

The $1 million bail-for-freedom deal was approved by Iran's courts, clearing the way for the release of the men after more than two years in custody.

Same price as the third members, $500,000k a pop. Really as dumb as these kids were to do this, this kidnapping and ransom by the Iranian government is pretty offense. It's one step up from the Somali Pirates (barely).
