Ecuadorean police released footage of the operation that rescued Pedro Perlaza, a former top soccer player who had been kidnapped for ransom and held hostage in a jungle near Colombia.
Images published by Ecuadorean armed forces show the moment when troops reach a wooden house in the middle of the jungle and find Perlaza tied on the floor. "We're here Pedro, stay calm," one of them says while he bursts into tears while thanking him.
