Three Of The Four Americans Freed By Iran As Part Of A Prisoner Swap Have Left Iran



CNN: Plane carrying Americans in Iran prisoner swap has taken off

(CNN)A plane carrying at least three of the four Americans freed by Iran as part of a prisoner swap has taken off, three of the men's families said in Sunday statements.

White House officials said earlier Sunday that recently detained student Matthew Trevithick, who was released -- but not as part of the prisoner swap -- had left Iran. There were no additional details.

The situation of the fifth prisoner, identified by U.S. officials as Nosratollah Khosravi-Roodsari, was not immediately known. A statement from a senior White House official did not name specific prisoners and provided only sparse details.
