"SULAIMANIYAH, Iraq (AP) - The U.S. State Department says it's investigating reports that three Americans have been detained by Iranians after wandering near the border in the self-ruled Kurdish region in northern Iraq.
Two Kurdish officials say the three Americans apparently were arrested after entering Iranian territory without permission.

One security official says the missing Americans were tourists on an outing....."

....Another Kurdish official said that a fourth American had stayed behind in the Kurdish city of Suleymaniya while his friends went trekking into the mountains because he was feeling ill and is in the custody of the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.

The official said that notebooks found among their possessions suggested the missing Americans had been traveling in Syria and the Palestinian territories before coming to the Kurdish territories.

"Our security services are going through their stuff trying to figure out what they were doing here," the official said. "From our initial assessment it was just young kids trekking into an interesting part of the world, part fun, part adventure and it looks like they got themselves into a wee bit too much trouble," the official said....
