Five American citizens held captive for years in Iran are flying back to the United States as part of a prisoner swap.
The four men and one woman, who also hold Iranian passports, took off from Iran's capital Tehran on Monday, en route to Washington via Doha.
The deal was mediated by Qatar, and follows the transfer of $6 billion in Iranian oil revenue funds frozen in South Korea.
