> > Freed sailors land in London > Thu Apr 5, 2007 2:14PM BST > > LONDON (Reuters) - The 15 British military personnel freed by Iran after a two-week diplomatic stand-off arrived back in England on Thursday to cheers and to questions about the incident and its implications. > > As flight BA6634 from Tehran touched down at Heathrow at 12:02 p.m., the group burst into applause. > > "These guys have been through a lot. They are just relaxing and having a good flight. They are just winding down," said one British diplomat accompanying the sailors, who declined to give any media access to them during the journey. > > The group disembarked and posed for pictures before transferring to two waiting military helicopters to be flown to a base at Chivenor in Devon for a private meeting with their families and debriefing. > > Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a news conference broadcast round the world on Wednesday he had decided to forgive and free the 15 sailors and marines even though Britain was not "brave enough" to admit they had strayed into Iranian waters. > > The carefully stage-managed performance was seen by some as trying to soften the former Iranian Revolutionary Guard's vehemently anti-Western image abroad. But not everyone agreed. > > "The bad news for Tehran is that the British people are now more likely to see Iran as the bad guy as a result of this," said Dan Plesch, author and commentator on nuclear proliferation at London's School of Oriental and African Studies. > > "Your average Briton now will be much more aware that Iran is a potential threat, despite the way it ended." > > The peaceful end to the stand-off, which began when the world's fourth largest oil exporter seized the 15 in the northern Gulf on March 23, prompted a drop in oil prices from recent highs. > > The aircraft's business class section was cleared for the sole use of the former captives and those accompanying them. >

> > After the flight left, Iranian television showed more interviews and images of the group, wearing civilian clothing, drinking tea and clutching colourful gift bags. > > "The treatment has been great. It will be nice to get back and get home to see my family," said Faye Turney, the only woman in the group. "Thank you for letting us go. We apologise for our actions," she added, wearing a headscarf and looking strained. > > During the flight they put on military uniform again. > > Even before they had touched down, the post-mortem began on what closed-door deals might have been struck and just what it meant for future relations between Iran and the West. > > "The (EU) presidency hopes that Iran uses this opportunity to find solutions to other issues in cooperation with the international community and the European Union," current EU president Germany said in a statement. > > "This applies in particular to the proposal by the foreign ministers of China, Germany, France, Great Britain, Russia and the United States to resolve the controversy over Iran's nuclear programme through dialogue and negotiations." > > The dispute centred on where the Britons were when they were seized. Britain says they were in Iraqi waters on a routine U.N. mission. Tehran says they strayed into its territorial waters. > > Underscoring tensions in the region, four British soldiers were killed by a roadside bomb in the southern Iraqi city of Basra on Thursday, where Iranian agents have been accused of operating in the past. > > The British army has accused Iran of smuggling sophisticated weaponry across the border into Iraq to fuel the insurrection. > > At Wednesday's news conference, Ahmadinejad said: "Under the influence of the Muslim Prophet, (Iran) forgives these 15 people and gives their freedom to the British people as a gift." > > In London, Prime Minister Tony Blair told reporters shortly afterwards: "Throughout we have taken a measured approach, firm but calm, not negotiating but not confronting either ... To the Iranian people I would simply say this: we bear you no ill will." > > (Additional reporting by David Clarke and Jeremy Lovell in London and Noah Barkin in Berlin) > > > THESE PROFILES ARE BOTH ME > UNION JACK IS MILITARY SUPPORT > BABYDOLL_UK IS ME HEHE > PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD TO BOTH OR ONE > UNION JACK--supporting the troops
