The French government says that it is trying to help a woman who had been held hostage by Colombian rebels for more than six years. Her name is Ingrid Betancourt. The urgency of the situation is bossted as her son says that she needs an immediate blood transfusion to stay alive.
Details of the effort to treat and possibly free Ingrid, 46, who holds both French and Colombian citizenships, are vague.
A statement from President Nicolas Sarkozy's office said that an effort by France, Spain and Switzerland had begun in conjunction with Colombian authorities.
We, the undersigned wish for the immediate release of Ingrid Betancourt.
