15 hostages, including 3 Americans have been rescued from FARC in Colombia.
French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt, three US nationals and 11 other hostages were rescued from Marxist FARC rebels Wednesday, freed from years in captivity by a daring Colombian military raid.
Betancourt, who was captured in 2002, and the three Americans held since 2003, were rescued along with 11 Colombian soldiers in dramatic fashion when the Colombian military infiltrated a rebel jungle camp and removed them by helicopter.
A plane carrying the Americans, Defense Department Contractors, is about to land in Texas.
Sen. John McCain was in Colombia today and said he was told about the rescue while there. He said it was a coincidence.

I know it's difficult for you thaelmann......
when your commie idols are made to look like the clowns they are. The "mercenaries" -god you people really need to look up the definition of the word- were working to slow the flow of cocaine. Shame on them, huh?
I've been to colombia.on business 18 times so far and I know how the average joe there hates the stupid rebels. You don't know shit about Colombia.
