The Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, is expected to release the last 10 police officers and soldiers it is holding hostage in the coming days.

Kidnapping has been a key tactic of the leftist fighters for decades.

Families of the remaining hostages are making final preparations for their release.
