The two American hikers, Shane Bauer and Josh Fattal, were freed from Iranian prison Wednesday September 21,2011 on a $1 million bail. They were sent to jail for over two years on charges of spying along the Iran/Iraq border. 

Today, Bauer and Fattal were sent to the Iranian International Airport and sent to the Gulf state of Oman. 

According to the Iranian State News Agency, IRNA, Bauer and Fattal were released just as darkness fell in the capital Tehran. 

The news of their freedom is wonderful and I am so happy to hear that they will be back with their families today.
