Colombia says Chavez only hope for hostage release
Colombia said on Wednesday Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez may be the only person who can obtain the release of hostages held by Colombian guerrillas because the rebels respect the left-wing leader.
Chavez, who has carved out a role as a regional leader, has raised hopes his socialist credentials can persuade guerrillas to talk after Bogota authorized him in August to seek the release of hostages, including a French-Colombian politician and three U.S. contract workers held for years.
