Colombian lawmaker Jorge Gechem has tears in his eyes as he is greeted at Caracas' Maiquetia airport after being freed, February 27, 2008. FARC rebels freed four lawmakers held hostage for years in Colombia's jungle on Wednesday, in a victory for Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez who brokered the deal. Venezuelan helicopters picked up Gloria Polanco, Luis Eladio Perez, Orlando Beltran and Gechem, who is believed to be suffering severe heart problems. [Agencies] To read the story
