Wife Of FBI Agent Asks For Help From Iranian President


The article that I chose to share is an article about Robert Levinson, a retired FBI agent, who went to Iran on a business trip five years ago and did not return home. It is to be believed that the former agent is being held hostage.  His wife, Christine Levinson, has been trying to do all she can to find him even after all these years. Recently, she has gone to New York to plead with the Iranian President, who was attending the UN General Assembly to get his help on the issue. Christine Levinson believes the Iranian President can help her because he has promised to help with finding her husband before by having his people investigate. According to the former FBI agent’s family, Levinson was in Iran in order to investigate a cigarette smuggling in Iran when he had gone missing. Last year, the Iranian government claimed they do not know what occurred and what happened to Levinson. This week in Time Square, pictures and messages were set up in order to get the UN delegates to help locate him. Recently, the FBI has offered a reward of one million dollars for any information that will lead to Levinson’s return. It is still unclear of who is holding Levinson captive, but they believe he is somewhere in Southwest Asia. It is also believed that he is still alive.
