Three Colombian men accused of belonging to the FARC rebel group have been arrested and charged with holding an unidentified American citizen hostage for more than 10 months, United States prosecutors in New York said Friday. The men — Edilberto Berrio Ortiz, Alejandro Palacios Rengifo and Anderson Chamapuro Dogirama — were arrested Thursday by the Colombian authorities and are accused of holding the hostage from April 2008 to February 2009, after a relative paid ransom. One other suspect in the case is in Colombian custody; five other suspects named in an indictment remain at large.
