( AP ) - An Iranian-American reporter for the U.S.-funded Radio Farda who has been trapped for months in Iran left the country Tuesday, returning to the United States, the station said.

Parnaz Azima was one of four Iranian-Americans suspected by Iran of involvement in a plot to foment a revolution against the Islamic government. Another of the four was released earlier.

Azima "left Iran today and is on her way to the United States," Sania Winter, a spokeswoman for Radio Farda, told The Associated Press from Washington. She would not give further details saying Azima would be "reunited with her family."

Azima was not imprisoned in Iran but authorities confiscated her passport when she arrived in the country in January on a family visit.
