Detained Americans to be tried in Iran

Three U.S. citizens detained in Iran and charged with espionage will stand trial, Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Monday, a step certain to aggravate the U.S. at a time when Tehran is locked in a standoff with the West over its nuclear program.

The three Americans - Josh Fattal, Shane Bauer and Sarah Shourd - were on an alleged adventure hike in northern Iraq and accidentally crossed into Iran, where they were arrested on July 31.
