Former hostage reunited with family
IB was held for six years by the leftist FARC guerillas. IB called the rescue of her and 14 hostages that of a miracle. IB’s two children live in France and were flown to Bogota by the French government. Government forces will continue to work for the release of all the hostages held by FARC. IB will next head home to France.
