Chavez greets freed Colombian hostages
Four hostages were freed by Colombian rebels after six years of captivity and flown to Venezuela, where they appealed to President Hugo Chavez to help press for the freedom of all remaining hostages.
The former politicians were released in a gesture coordinated with Mr Chavez as the leftist rebels seek to put pressure on Colombia’s US-allied government and persuade the international community to strike them from lists of terrorist groups.
