The Presidency has sent the government of Colombia a message of congratulations on the Colombian army's successful rescue of Ingrid Betancourt and 14 other hostages being held by the FARC. Betancourt had been in captivity for over six years. The note reads: "We send our congratulations to the government of President Alvaro Uribe for his persistent effort to restore citizen Betancourt's freedom, an effort in which other governments around the world also collaborated. The Dominican government celebrates the fact that Betancourt, three US citizens and 11 Colombians were freed, and advocated that others who are still in captivity be freed so that Colombia may continue on the road to peace."
