A television grab shows Colombia's secret police carrying Swedish hostage Erik Roland Larsson after he was freed by rebels of the FARC in Tierra Alta, Cordoba province, March 17, 2009. Colombia's FARC guerrillas freed a Swedish hostage they kidnapped nearly two years ago in an extortion attempt, Colombian state security police said on Tuesday. The man, identified by police as Erik Roland Larsson, 69, was snatched from his rural farm by rebels from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia or FARC, who officials said had initially sought $5 million for his release.
