Colombian rebels lead tourists to release point

[Gimel]

BOGOTA - Rebels from the Colombian ELN (National Liberation Army) group are expected to release the five kidnapped tourists, including four Israelis, on Monday.

At dawn, (around noon Israeli time) a military helicopter will pick up Benny Daniel, Ido Guy, Erez Altawil, Orpaz Ohayon and Briton Mark Henderson, and fly them to a military airport, where they will be welcomed by their families and embassy representatives. Afterwards they will be flown to Bogota.

The ELN group said Sunday that the abduction was a success because it brought an international humanitarian delegation to examine the living conditions of the residents of Sierre Nevada.
