Freed by Iran, hikers arrive back in U.S.

NEW YORK - Two Americans released from an Iranian prison arrived back in the United States on Sunday after being held in jail for more than two years as accused spies.

 A spokeswoman for the families said Josh Fattal and Shane Bauer were to return from the Middle East today on a flight from London's Heathrow Airport.

The American Airlines flight arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport at approximately 11:00 a.m. ET.

"It's actually just a great relief. We've all been sort of on pins and needles," said Fattal's uncle, Fred Felleman, in an interview with CBS Radio News. "This last week has been somewhat hellish - the on-again, off-again process."
