US Believes Missing Ex-FBI Agent Alive in Iran
VoA News: The United States says it has indications an American who disappeared in Iran four years ago is still alive.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Thursday the new information suggests Robert Levinson, a former employee of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, is being held somewhere in southwest Asia.
She called on Iran to undertake “humanitarian efforts” to help bring Levinson home safely.
In the past, Iranian officials have denied knowledge of Levinson's whereabouts, but they also have offered their help in the investigation.
Levinson, who had retired from the FBI and was a private investigator, was on a business trip in 2007 to Kish Island. His family has said he was investigating cigarette smuggling there.
The U.S. does not have diplomatic relations with Iran. U.S. interests there are represented by the Swiss embassy in Tehran.
