Four more hostages in Colombia could be freed in the coming hours

Four more hostages in Colombia could be freed in the coming hours if reports from Venezuela are correct. The captives being held by FARC rebels are said to have been brought together in preparation for their release. After negotiations with representatives of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez FARC said last month that it would liberate the four Colombian politicians. Venezuelan Interior Minister Ramon Rodriguez has said his officials are getting ready for a handover as early as Wednesday. But he has also accused Colombia of putting the hostages at risk with military operations in the area.
