Córdoba wants Brazil to provide logistic support for hostage release

Colombia news - Piedad Córdoba

Mediator Piedad Córdoba said Thursday she will ask Brazil to provide the logistics for the operation to pick up a hostage the FARC promised to release.

The FARC informed the opposition senator Córdoba that they would release Pablo Emilio Moncayo, an army corporal who has spent the last eleven years in guerrilla captivity.

Brazil facilitated the release of six hostages by the FARC earlier this year. Córdoba will ask Colombian President Álvaro Uribe to authorize Brazil to also carry out this operation.
