| Colombia rebels free two hostages from jungle |
| 2008-01-11 |
 With tears, smiles and long hugs, two women hostages were freed by Colombia's Marxist rebels on Thursday after years in the jungle, raising hopes for dozens more languishing in secret camps. In a Venezuela-brokered deal, a helicopter flew deep into Colombia to pick up former vice-presidential candidate Clara Rojas and ex-congresswoman Consuelo Gonzalez, and ferried them back across the border where a plane took them to Caracas. |

| #3 Transferred from one criminal den if iniquity to another. Don't rightly call that "free". We'll see what Oogo does. |

| #2 I think it was these women who've been held captive for six years. Does anyone here confirm/deny? Thanks! |
