COLOMBIAN MILITARY commanders beamed with pride as they recounted the details of the rescue of 15 hostages from the steaming jungles of southern Colombia on Wednesday in a dramatic military rescue operation worthy of a Hollywood script.

Not since 'Les Bleus' won the World Cup has the country known such euphoria, writes in Paris.

THE EUPHORIA after the military operation by Colombian commandos that led to the rescue of Ingrid Betancourt and 14 other hostages will be remembered for years to come in this Andean nation plagued by decades of violence.

THE FOUNDER of the Irish Ingrid Betancourt Committee has said the fight to have hostages held by Farc rebels in Colombia freed is "not over yet".
