Background:>
Colombia frees Ingrid Betancourt from rebels.
Many Colombians believe the end is near for the FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia), whose ranks are filled with poor peasants resentful of government neglect but who are widely despised for their ransom and political kidnappings and reliance on cocaine trafficking.
In March, co-founder leader Manuel Marulanda died of a reported heart attack, and two other top commanders were killed, one by a turncoat bodyguard.
