Paroled radical to return to Maine

[MaineDem]

Self-styled revolutionary Raymond Luc Levasseur will soon return to Portland after serving 18 years in prison for his part in a string of terrorist bombings beginning in the 1970s, police said.

Levasseur, 57, is a member of a group dubbed the "Ohio Seven" after their 1984 arrest in Cleveland. The group, also known as the United Freedom Front, was believed to have been responsible for 19 bombings and 10 bank robberies over a nine-year period, as well as the murder of a New Jersey state trooper.

Levasseur was on the FBI's most wanted list for seven years before his capture. In 1986, he was convicted of bombing corporate offices and military installations in and around New York City and was sentenced to 45 years in prison.
