BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — The French journalist newly freed by Colombian rebels says he has no plans to leave the conflict-scarred South American country he's called home for a decade.
Romeo Langlois told a news conference in Bogota that he was leaving Thursday for Paris to see his parents but plans to return because his work and best friends are in Colombia.
The 35-year-old journalist was accompanying soldiers on a cocaine-lab destruction mission, on assignment for France24 television, on April 28 when rebels attacked. Four security force members were killed and Langlois was wounded in the arm. He fled into rebel hands.
Langlois said a soldier asked him during the firefight if he wanted to get a rifle and fight, and he said sorry but he's not a combatant.

The first electric vehicle I ever drove was a Tesla Roadster in 2011. It was with great anticipation that I slid behind the wheel of the 2025 Acura ZDX Type S. Sure, it's a midsize SUV, but it wears the Type S moniker, a name reserved only for the most fun-to-drive in the Acura stable. On launch, the ZDX will be available in A-Spec and Type S trims -- both of which come equipped with a 102 kWh battery.
