| Iran has agreed to release three Finnish employees of Nokia Siemens Networks who were detained Saturday after straying into Iran's territorial waters during a fishing trip in the Persian Gulf, the company said Wednesday "They (the men) have contacted us and said they will return to Dubai shortly," Nokia Siemens spokesman Barry French said. "We certainly appreciate the support of the government of Finland in reaching out to the Iranian counterparts." He gave no other details. |

| #1 You do have to wonder about the innate intelligence of Nokia Siemens employees who go on a fishing trip in the Persian Gulf close enough to Iranian territory (even their version of the limits) after the British thingy and all the other stuff going on. I wonder what the Finns paid (more Nokia phones to use in IEDs, perhaps?). |
