LONDON (AP) - Britain's foreign secretary says Iran will release one of two British Embassy employees still being detained in Tehran after seven others were freed last week.
David Miliband says Iran's deputy foreign minister has said one of the remaining two in custody will be freed Sunday without charge.
A lawyer for a ninth man, political analyst Hossein Rassam, says he has been charged with harming Iran's national security.
Iranian officials detained the embassy staff just over a week ago, accusing them of fomenting unrest. All are Iranian nationals, and seven were released on June 29.
Iran claims eight have been released but Miliband's statement appeared to contradict that.

Miliband told the BBC that he claims against the staff had «absolutely no substance.
