After six years of captivity in the Colombian jungle, the Colombian-French politician Ingrid Betancourt has been freed. Betancourt was kidnapped in 2002 by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) while campaigning for the Colombian presidency in San Vicente del Caguan, Colombia—an area of high guerrilla presence. She is said to have been the highest-profile captive held by the FARC guerillas.
