Dual-national held

DUBAI, Aug 15, (AP): A BritishIranian anthropologist who has studied child marriage and female genital mutilation in the Islamic Republic has been detained in Iran over unknown charges, his wife and activists said, becoming the latest dual national held there amid tensions with the West.
