Via Reuters: Colombia shows videos of hostages held 11 years
Videos of 10 Colombian soldiers and police officers held by Marxist rebels for as long as 11 years aired on television on Monday, but efforts aimed at freeing the gaunt-looking hostages remained frozen.The men are seen bound around the neck by chains secured by copper-colored padlocks. A tarp of camouflage material hanging behind them to hide their location, they speak directly to their families in the videos and plea for freedom.
Let that sink in: some have been held captive for over a decade.
