Released hiker meets with Ahmadinejad

A report released by the Associated Press says that Sarah Shourd, the hiker who was recently released from captivity in Iran met with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The American hiker who spent more than 400 days in an Iranian prison met with Iranian President Ahmadinejad Friday in New York to plead for the release of her fiancé and friend still jailed in Iran. Sarah Shourd told ABC News she had prayed in prison for a chance to speak with the Iranian leader. Shourd, 32, was released last week after being detained in July 2009 in Iran, but had to leave behind her fiancé Shane Bauer and friend Josh Fattal. Shourd did not release any other details of the meeting with Mr. Ahmadinejad.
