Iranian Official Said To Meet Iranians Detained In Iraq

Iran's state IRNA news agency says an Iranian representative is to meet with five Iranians detained in Iraq by U.S. forces for the first time since their capture in January.

The report did not say when a meeting might take place.

In Baghdad, U.S. military spokesman Christopher Garver had no immediate comment.

The United States accuses the five of being members of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps and providing material support to militants. Iran says they are diplomats.
