Ahmadinejad: British Captives To Go Free As A "Gift"
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Wednesday that
Iran would free the 15 detained British sailors and marines as a gift to the British people.
He pardoned the sailors and announced they would be released following a news conference at which he pinned a medal on the chest of the Iranian coast guard commander who intercepted the sailors and marines in the northern Gulf on March 23.
