MIAMI, Florida (Reuters) --The fugitive founder of a violent Puerto Rican independence group was killed in a gunfight with federal agents at a mountain farmhouse in western Puerto Rico, the FBI said Sunday.

Filiberto Ojeda Rios, 72, opened fire on agents who were trying to arrest him at a house in the Hormigueros area of Puerto Rico on Friday, the FBI said. Ojeda Rios was killed, and an FBI agent was shot in the stomach and severely wounded, the agency said. Ojeda Rios was the founder and leader of Puerto Rico's radical Boricua Popular Army, which sought independence for the U.S. territory in the Caribbean and was known as the "Macheteros," or machete-wielders. The group was blamed for a wave of bombings and killings targeting civilians and military sites in the 1970s and 1980s. Among them were a 1981 attack on a Puerto Rican Air National Guard base and the 1979 shooting of a Navy bus that killed two people. Ojeda Rios and several other members of the group were indicted on charges of robbing a Wells Fargo armored car depot in West Hartford, Connecticut, in 1983, of more than $7 million in order to finance their activities.

Don't mention Clemente HS which seems to have been a hive of anti-American, hate whitey training for generations of stupid people. Or that Luis Guitirez an exceptionally slimy model of a politician survives on the politeness (and fear of PC) of Americans. You are right we only need to ask our PR moral superiors what they really think of the USA and then let the cat ladies of conservatism moralize the response like the brain dead liberals they are.
