A Colombian rebel group announced plans to release 6 hostages, including former Gov. Alan Jara and former legislator Sigifredo Lopez Tobon, according to a statement from the group on Sunday.
Jara has been held by the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) since his capture in 2001, and Tobon has been held in captivity since 2002.
The other four hostages are Colombian police and soldiers.
Colombian Sen. Piedad Cordoba, an opposition party leader with close political ties to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, told CNN Sunday that an agreement had been brokered but could not confirm a time when the hostages would be released.
Cordoba has played a key role in past hostage negotiations.
