but can't help feeling"extremely disappointed" that their husband and father continues to be imprisoned.
The Levinsons said they send their best wishes to Wang's wife and his young son:"This is a day they have long hoped for, but this news is bittersweet for our family.""We can't help but be extremely disappointed that, despite all its efforts, the United States government was unable to secure his release," the statement said."Iranian authorities continue to play a cruel game with our father’s life, and with our family.
. The U.S. and Iran negotiated in Switzerland to exchange Wang for Iranian citizen Massoud Soleimani, who was being held in an Atlanta jail over accusations that he had violated U.S. sanctions. Levinson, 71, was working with the CIA on an unauthorized intelligence-gathering mission when he disappeared in March 2007 on Kish Island, a resort area off Iran's coast. He is now the longest-held American hostage in history, but his condition and whereabouts are largely unknown.Sign Up
