Colombian FARC rebels free four hostages
The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) guerrillas on Wednesday freed four customs officials kidnapped early in the week in southwest Colombia, official sources said.

The National Taxes and Customs Department said the guerrillas freed them unconditionally, but kept the vehicle they were driving at the time of the kidnapping on Monday.

The hostages were handed over to a humanitarian commission in the San Pedro Mountains, close to Tulua municipality, the department said.

The four customs officials were identified as Jair Rengifo, Carlos Alberto Guarin, Nestor Hernan Tascon and Rogelio Aguilar.

The FARC, which has been fighting the Colombian government since the mid-1960s, is still holding 58 political, military and foreign hostages in an attempt to exchange them for imprisoned guerrillas.
