The radio network said Sunday that it received an e-mail from rebels of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, announcing the rebels will release Gloria Polanco, Luis Eladio Perez and Orlando Beltran, all kidnapped in 2001, without putting a date on the liberation.

The e-mail could not immediately be confirmed, but the FARC have made previous announcement about hostages through similar channels.
