TEHRAN, Iran - Fifteen British sailors and marines released by Iran arrived at Tehran’s airport early Thursday and were expected to board a commercial flight to London, according to an Associated Press reporter at the scene.

The 15, whose release from nearly two weeks in Iranian captivity was announced Wednesday by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, arrived in a convoy of sedans that drove directly to the presidential VIP section of the airport, the reporter said.

The convoy was escorted by several cars belonging to the elite Revolutionary Guards.

The British crew was expected to board a British Airways flight scheduled to leave the Mehrabad International Airport at 8 a.m. local time (12:30 a.m. EDT).
