Ex-hostage is Colombia minister
Colombia's President Alvaro Uribe has named Fernando Araujo as foreign minister, weeks after he escaped from six years' captivity in rebel hands.
He was held hostage by the left-wing Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) until he fled last month.
Mr Araujo, 51, served as a minister in a previous Colombian administration.
He will replace Maria Consuelo Araujo - no relation - who resigned after her brother was arrested on suspicion of links with paramilitaries.
