Bogota - Freed Colombian hostage Ingrid Betancourt was reunited on Thursday with her family after six years of captivity after they flew to Bogota from France with French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner.
Visibly emotional, Betancourt climbed the stairs to greet her family as the door to their plane opened at 08:26. There she tearfully welcomed her children, Melanie and Lorenzo Delloye, her sister Astrid and her former husband Fabrice Delloye.
"I think it was an orgy of kisses," she told reporters gathered on the tarmac. "I wanted to feel them, touch them, look at them... They are so beautiful. I think they are beautiful."
