Puerto Rican nationalist out of federal prison

July 26, 2010 (CHICAGO)

Carlos Alberto Torres came back to Chicago Monday afternoon. He spent 30 years behind bars for taking part in a nationalist movement that terrorized the city with bombings and other violent acts during the 1960s and 70s.

Monday, some members of the community gathered in the 2600-block of West Division to celebrate his release. They consider him a "political prisoner."

Torres is scheduled to return to his native Puerto Rico Tuesday.
