Ingrid Betancourt Freed After 6 Years


In a brilliant secret operation the Colombian military infiltrated rebel group FARC and deceived its members into giving up 15 hostages including former Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, Colombia's defense ministry said.

Appearing healthy after being held hostage for six years in the jungle, Ingrid Betancourt walked down from a Colombian military jet in Bogota on Wednesday and hugged her mother and husband, a broad smile on her face.
