No Information on Former FBI Agent

WASHINGTON — Still hopeful, the wife of a former FBI agent who vanished a year ago from an Iranian island said Thursday a meeting with State Department officials produced no new information about his whereabouts.

"It's the same as before; we have no information," Christine Levinson of Coral Springs, Fla., said after meeting with Jeff Feltman of the Near East bureau and other officials.

"We hope the Iranian government will be forthcoming," she said.

The State Department described her husband, Robert Levinson, as an American citizen who was on a business trip to Kish Island last March 8-9 when he disappeared.

Spokesman Tom Casey called upon Tehran to share with the family and with Swiss diplomats details of any and all information the Iranian authorities have uncovered.

"If Iran is holding Mr. Levinson, we demand that the Iranian authorities notify us to that effect, grant the Swiss consular access and release him and reunite him with his family," Casey said.

Swiss diplomats look after U.S. interests in Iran in the absence of U.S.-Iranian relations.

Christine Levinson made a trip to Iran late last year and said she was unable to find out what had happened to her husband despite visiting the Persian Gulf island where he was last seen.

The Iranian government said it did not have any information about the missing American.

Christine Levinson said the Iranian government promised her to investigate and "to let us know the results."

"They have not told us anything yet," she said.
