Colombia's Revolutionary Armed Forces' (FARC) rebels on Thursday released two hostages and handed them over to an international humanitarian mission in the jungle of southern Colombia, officials said.
Consuelo Gonzalez was kidnapped in 2001 and Clara Rojas was taken hostage in 2002 alongside her running mate Ingrid Betan court, the FARC's highest profile hostage, who has dual French-Colombian citizenship.
The FARC is holding 46 high-profile hostages, hoping to swap them for about 500 rebels jailed in government prisons.
