The soldier, Jhonatan Mora, was released a the Red Cross, which said that the soldier had been injured in combat, but in no danger.

“We received the request to facilitate the release and the medical evacuation of the soldier together with a church commission,” Red Cross representative Olivier Dorighel told press.

According to newspaper El Tiempo, the rebels captured Mora on Thursday, while carrying out operations in La Llanada, a municipality in the troubled Nariño department.
