Colombian hostages

[AtW]

"Leftist rebels in Colombia freed on Wednesday the first of five hostages whose release has been promised, the International Committee of the Red Cross said.

Marcos Baquero, 33, a local politician kidnapped in June 2009, was turned over to a humanitarian mission in central Meta province and was being flown to Villavicencio in a helicopter with Red Cross markings, a Red Cross spokeswoman said."

Oh ffs, he could have been home like nearly 2 years ago.

Or dead in a remote jungle somewhere......flesh stripped from the bone by insects........had he been as panic-stricken as you would profess to be under similar circumstances, and bolted headlong into the forbidding forest.

HTH
