"The helicopters, which in reality were from the army, picked up the Hostages in Guaviare and flew them to freedom," Mr Santos said. Score one (or fifteen, hehe) for the good guys! Most importantly, the three American Hostages has been freed. The three American Hostages rescued from the leftist guerillas have arrived safely in Texas and have been taken to hospital where they are expected to reunite with their families and undergo tests and treatment. The US military contractors - Marc Gonsalves, Thomas Howes and Keith Stansell - were held for five years by ...
