Two women held hostage in Colombia for more than five years by FARC rebels have finally been released, after weeks of frustration and delay.The two Colombian politicians -- Clara Rojas and Consuelo Gonzalez -- were reunited with their families at a Venezuelan airport.
Clara Rojas said they felt like they were being born again. Looking in good health, they hugged relatives and expressed their thanks to the Venezuelan president, Hugo Chavez, for his help in brokering the deal.
The vice president of Colombia, Francisco Santos, said everyone should celebrate the women's release but not forget the other Colombians who remained hostages of the FARC.
