Pérez: FARC should choose which prisoners to swap for hostages

Pèrez explained the FARC should be able to choose the guerrillas they want in exchange for 39 hostages, included Ingrid Betancourt, currently held by the leftist rebels in Colombia`s jungle.Pérez also clarified he does not want to see United States President George W. Bush to talk about the humanitarian exchange deal, but to speak about the three American hostages, that have been held captive by the FARC since 2003.According Pérez the FARC linked the hostages’ ‘imprisonment’ to that of FARC leader ‘Simón Trinidad’, who is currently serving 60 years in an American prison for drug trafficking and money laundering.
