“In the name of President Hugo Chavez I want to announce that we have the exact place where the four hostages are”, said Minister Ramón Rodriguez Chacin.

Mr. Rodríguez told he doesn’t know the health status of whom that will be released, but he warned that “there is intensive and heavy military operations in the area” where are the hostages, and he added “they are in danger”.

“FARC asked that no one else knows this coordinates; just me”, clarify Mr. Rodriguez in a press conference in Caracas, along with the Venezuelan Chancellor, Mr. Nicolas Maduro and parents of the hostages.

Mr. Maduro told that he spoke with Colombian authorities to facilitate the operation and suspend military operations.

The helicopters that will take to the four hostages will be in the place “at the most of two hours”, to avoid paramilitary or Colombian army force operations, explain both Venezuelan ministers.

On February 2, FARC announced they will release the former members of Congress  Gloria Polanco de Lozada, Luis Eladio Pérez Bonilla y Orlando Beltrán Cuellar, and in a statement divulged last Saturday confirmed the fourth hostage is the former senator Jorge Eduardo Gechem Turbay, who is in a critic health situation according different sources.

Four days ago, Sergio Perez, a son of the former senador Luis Eladio Perez, ask to the Colombian President, Mr. Alvaro Uribe, the end of the military operations around the area near to the zone where the hostages are.
