New York radical Lori Berenson could be coming home soon.

The activist, imprisoned in Peru for 15 years for collaborating with leftist guerrillas, was paroled last week but told she couldn’t leave the country for the five years remaining on her sentence. However, Justice Minister Victor Garcia yesterday called her a “nuisance” who might be deported.

“My personal opinion is that this [expulsion] is the best solution,” he said. The final decision will be made by President Alan Garcia.
