 LIMA, Peru (AP) - The United States has offered presidential hopeful Ollanta Humala help in regaining his visa after revoking the document last year following his brother's armed takeover of a police station.
Humala, a populist former army officer in the mold of Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez, trails former President Alan Garcia, a more moderate leftist, in the polls ahead of a June 4 runoff vote.
A U.S. Embassy official confirmed Tuesday that Ollanta Humala's visa was revoked in January 2005 "based on information that indicated possible ineligibility for admission to the United States." He declined to provide more details of the revocation.
