Adolfo Matos
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Adolfo Matos was a far-left Puerto Rican terrorist of the FALN (a Stalinist terror group which fought to transform Puerto Rico into a communist state during the 1970s) who received a sentence of 70 years for seditious conspiracy and other charges.[1] He was sentenced on February 18, 1981, and incarcerated in a U.S. federal prison. However, he was released early from prison, after President Bill Clinton extended a clemency offer to him on September 7, 1999.[2]
