Ingrid Betancourt and 14 Other FARC Hostages Free
2 Jul 2008
I just heard/read the news, that Ingrid Betancourt and 14 other hostages held by the FARC in Colombia have been released. Various news agencies are saying that they were “rescued” by the Colombian military without any violence.
I am currently watching CNN en Español, which is showing a helicopter that is allegedly holding Betancourt, three U.S defense contractors, and others. All of them are said to be in good health
Latin American leaders across the world are hailing the actions. Evo Morales already is getting heat for using this opportunity to say that this is a prime time to come to a peace agreement between the Colombian government and the FARC.
More as information comes in.
