Can you believe it. 15 hostages freed. BOGOTA, Colombia - Video recorded during the Colombian rescue of 15 hostages shows them filing grim-faced toward the helicopter that would fly them to safety. Then, hugs and tears of joy follow after they realized they are free. To watch the video here is the link: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/25534292#25534292
Out of the 15, I think 3 were Americans held for 5 and a half years and Ingrid Betancourt was held for 6 years. ( sadly missing her youngest son grow up) Betancourt, the former presidential candidate kidnapped in 2002, is seen beaming with joy. Defense Minister Juan Manuel Santos denied reports in international media that Israel was involved in the operation, assuring that it was "100 percent Colombian."
Not a single foreigner participated," he said. He said U.S. authorities were informed 10 days before the operation as part of an agreement President Alvaro Uribe had with U.S. President George W. Bush.
I mean image being held in jungle prisons and that they are finally free.
Congrats to The Colombian Army.

 The proud Colombian
