<snip>
Venezuela has pardoned and freed 27 Colombians arrested three years ago for plotting against President Hugo Chavez.

Mr Chavez said he hoped the move would help ease tensions between Colombia's government, right-wing paramilitaries and Marxist guerrillas.

The Venezuelan president is mediating between the Bogota government and the main left-wing rebel group, Farc.

He is hoping to secure the release of hostages by Farc in exchange for rebels held by the authorities.
