  1. >> Harrowing details of the captivity of Ingrid Betancourt and other hostages in Colombia
    emerged yesterday, at the same time as doubts surfaced over the official version of their
    daring rescue.

    The French-Colombian politician and the captives freed in Wednesday's military operation
    described casual sadism, inhumane conditions and even killings in the jungle camps of
    the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc).

    Betancourt said she was often chained to a tree and haunted by thoughts of killing herself
    during her six-year ordeal. "Death is a hostage's most faithful companion. We lived with death ...
    and the seduction of suicide was always with us." <<
