FARC hostage escapes with guard

Published: 27 October 2008 y., Monday

A former Colombian lawmaker who was held captive by Marxist guerrillas for more than eight years has escaped, along with a rebel who had been guarding him.

 

Oscar Lizcano marched for three days with his FARC jailer before reaching a Colombian army post on Sunday where the guerrilla surrendered to troops.

 

The 63-year-old's escape follows the rescue of French-Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt and a group of other hostages.
