"The Wikipedia article says their "leader" was "murdered". Wrong. He was at the losing end of a gun battle with the FBI. Good shooting and good riddance, I say."

Do you have the data? I'll fix the article if you'd like.

The FBI San Juan field office received a tip on the whereabouts of Ojeda. They surrounded the house he was in and crashed a G car through the home's wrought iron gate. Ojeda came out of the house and started firing a pistol as the agents were rushing the home, wounding one FBI agent in the gut. The agents fired back. Ojeda then said that he would surrender to a journalist. The FBI didn't accede. Ojeda lets his wife out of the house. Another gunfire exchange ensues. Ojeda is wounded through the collar bone but this is not clear to the agents at the time. The San Juan SAIC calls FBI HQ in D.C. as required because of the wounded agent. He's told to stand fast and not go into the home until a Hostage Rescue Team arrives from the mainland. The HRT arrived overnight, did a tactical entry early the following morning and found Ojeda dead.

The leftists immediately cranked their spin machine, saying that the FBI let the guy die, hence, a "murder".

That's it.
