BOGOTA, Colombia (CNN) -- 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.
Gen. Mario Montoya leads freed hostages across the tarmac Wednesday at the Bogota, Colombia, airport.

The Colombian government's bloodless rescue of the hostages Wednesday was the product of a perfectly executed ruse that depended on old-school spy games rather than high-tech gadgetry.

Agents spent months worming their way into the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, or FARC, an insurgent force that has waged war on the Colombian state for 40 years, Gen. Freddy Padilla de Leon told CNN.

The agents gained the rebels' trust and rose to the top of FARC's leadership council as well as a team assigned to guard the hostages.

Workers at a marble company in Dallas say they have a slab of natural granite that has the image of Jesus in it.

Verona Marble Company Inc. takes pictures of every slab of stone in their inventory and posts them on their website. Wednesday, the owners say a customer in West Texas spotted the image among dozens of pictures and called to tell them about it.

Those who look at the 6x10 foot slab say they can see the head and arms of Jesus, along with either a belt, sword or glowing book.

The company has pulled the slab from its inventory and put it on display.

Verona Marble has had the granite slab, which came from a quarry in Brazil, since December. Company owners say the image is unique, especially since hunks of granite are sliced into slabs, like pieces of bread, and no other slabs from that particular piece of granite have the image.

Granite is typically used for kitchen countertops, tubs surrounds, bathroom vanities, etc.

The slab weighs between 900 and 1,000 pounds and is worth about $1,500 wholesale.

The company owners say they feel blessed to have the piece and hope to sell it and donate the proceeds to a struggling church in Madill, Oklahoma.

SEFFNER, Fla. -- A Florida man died after drinking as many as 25 shots of vodka in less than an hour at a bikini bar, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office.

Eric Morris, 26, was taking part of a drinking game at the Angels Show Bar off U.S. Highway 92 in Seffner before his death.

Local 6 reported the Morris kept drinking after another bar patron in the contest stopped doing shots.

A sheriff's representative told the Tampa Tribune that Morris got up, staggered a few steps and collapsed.

Morris died at Brandon Regional Hospital two hours after the contest started.

Morris was recently released from a Florida prison after serving time for burglary, the Tribune reported.

Deputies are trying to determine if anyone will face charges in his death.
