BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) - A Colombian grandfather to the children of a U.S. defense contractor held by leftist rebels offered Saturday to take his place in captivity, saying the man's twin four-year-olds should finally meet their father.
Campo Elias Medina said he will send a letter and photos of the children to the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, asking if he can replace his daughter's boyfriend, Keith Stansell, who was kidnapped more than four years ago.
"They should take me as a hostage so that he can be released from captivity," Medina told RCN news. "I think it's more important that (the children) have their father at their side than their grandfather, and plus I'm already 55 years old."
