Investigation have revealed that the four children rescued from the Amazon forest after surviving a fatal plane crash in Colombia have now become kidnapper’s target.
PUNCH METRO reported that the children in the Columbia plane crash were found alive after 40 days in the Amazon jungle.
The plane crash happened in the early hours of May 1, when the Cessna single-engine propeller plane with six passengers and a pilot declared an emergency due to an engine failure.
A report by TMX, which was aired by FOX news on Thursday revealed that the children who have now become national celebrities have now become target for kidnappers who seek them for ransom.
“People on the ground in Colombia who know the lay of the land tell us, ransom is currency in their country, and insurgents frequently target high-profile people for kidnapping.
“As the kids recover physically and emotionally, government officials are trying to figure out who should care for them, and safety is a big factor,” the report stated.
