( CNN ) -- FARC rebels in Colombia say they will release French journalist Romeo Langlois on Wednesday , according to a statement posted on a website linked to the armed leftist insurgent group . The France 24 journalist was seized last month in a FARC attack on a Colombian army unit engaged in counter-narcotics operations . His capture came almost exactly two years to the day after he did a special report on whether the guerrillas could keep fighting after their leader and a top military commander were killed . Langlois , a correspondent with more than 10 years experience in the country , appears to have spent several days with a mobile FARC unit to prepare the April 2010 report . He described them as `` in a weak position '' and said they were `` tired of fighting for 40 years in the jungle . '' He was reporting alongside soldiers when the rebel group attacked and captured him on April 28 , the Colombian government said . Four people were killed and six were wounded in the attack , according to the Ministry of National Defense . Langlois was lightly wounded in the arm when he was captured , but was treated and is out of danger , according to a man who claimed to represent the rebels . The man in military garb referred to Langlois as a prisoner of war in a video posted on the France 24 website on May 7 . FARC announced a week later that it was prepared to release the Frenchman and called for negotiations involving the International Committee of the Red Cross and others . Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said his government would do whatever was necessary to guarantee Langlois ' release . `` The Colombian government is willing to provide all the facilities so the release occurs as quickly as possible , but if you really want to be viewed well by the world , release him now and simply tell us where he is and we will go get him , '' he said earlier this month . Kidnapping government forces and civilians has been a key strategy of the rebel group . Dramatic rescues , escapes and hostage handovers have revealed harsh conditions in jungle camps , including stories of prisoners chained to trees , grueling marches between hideouts , torrential rain and blistering sun . While severely weakened in recent years , the rebels have continued to carry out kidnappings and attack security forces . CNN 's Marilia Brocchetto contributed to this report .
