(Roxana Saberi, Freed Journalist) andamp;quot;I am of course very happy to be free and to be with my parents again and I want to thank all the people all over the world, which I am just finding out about really, who, whether they knew me or not, helped me and my family during this period. I do not have any specific plans for the moment. I just want to be with my parents and my friends and to relax. Thank you very much.andamp;quot; Saberi's father says the family is making plans to return to the United States.  « Less
