quote:TEHRAN — Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad freed 15 British sailors and marines today, offering Britain a "gift" in a surprise announcement that ended a 13-day crisis which rattled world financial markets.
Ahmadinejad told a news conference broadcast round the world he was willing to forgive the sailors, seized in the Shatt al-Arab waterway on March 23, even though Britain was not "brave enough" to admit it had made a mistake and they had strayed into Iranian territory.
