rescued by team in Che Guevara t-shirt

First news this morning, Ingrid Bétancourt was freed yesterday.

After 6 years in captivity in the arms of the FARC guerilla group, she and 14 other hostages were released thanks to an audacious and impeccably executed rescue operation by Columbia's army.

Soldiers posed as members of a fictitious NGO sympathetic to the rebels and pretended to fly the hostages by helicopter to meet with rebel leader Alfonso Cano.
The rescue, carried out without a shot fired.

Ingrid Bétancourt was captured in 2002 during her campaign for the Presidential election in Columbia.

Here is a video of her after their landing in Bogota:
