cue the music for an epic rescue

Hostages are freed from Colombia...
Government agents posing as rebels tricked a gang of armed desperados into handing over 15 hostages during a rendezvous deep in Colombia's unforgiving jungle.


CNN article here.

Does this sound like an episode of Alias to any of you? Just...the ridiculousness of a seemingly unrealistic plan, using an "international mission" as a cover and tricking the rebels, in the jungle no less, to just hand over hostages without deadly force necessarily? (More martial arts action, fewer bullets!)

Okay, anyway. Good job, Colombian government.
