BOGOTA, Colombia – A Roman Catholic priest says the National Liberation Army has freed a Spanish journalist who went missing a week ago in a lawless region of Colombia.

Gabriel Villa, the bishop of the border city of Ocana, said that he spoke to Salud Hernandez-Mora on Friday after the ELN handed her over to a parish priest. He said she was exhausted but otherwise in good health.
