Government soldiers have ended one of Colombia's longest running hostage dramas without a single shot being fired. Posing as Marxist rebels they entered the jungle stronghold where the 15 hostages were being held and simply took them away. Among them was French Colombian politician Ingrid Betancourt who has been held prisoner for six years.
