WASHINGTON - Journalist Roxana Saberi, recently freed after four months in an Iranian prison, met Wednesday with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and expressed thanks for the support she received during her confinement.

"When I found that I had this support while I was in prison, I gained a lot of strength and hope and I didn't feel so alone any more," Saberi told reporters as she stood beside Clinton, with her parents seated nearby. Saberi did not take questions.

Clinton said she was relieved that Saberi was set free.

"This was a matter of great concern to our country, certainly to the Obama administration and to me personally - not only as secretary of state but as a mother," Clinton said. "My heart went out to Roxana and to her parents every single day."
