FBI Shoots Dead Puerto Rican Nationalist Leader Filiberto Ojeda Rios

For the past four decades Filiberto Ojeda Rios had been a leading figure in the fight for Puerto Rican independence and against U.S. colonial rule.
He was wanted by the FBI for his role in a 1983 bank heist.

Longtime Puerto Rican nationalist leader Filiberto Ojeda Rios has been killed by the FBI.
The shooting occurred Friday after FBI agents surrounded a house where he was staying. According to an autopsy, Rios bleed to death after being hit with a single bullet. Officials didn’t enter his home until Saturday, many hours after he was shot.

The FBI claimed the 72-year-old Ojeda Rios fired first but independence activists accused the FBI of assassinating him.
For the past four decades Ojeda Rios had been a leading figure in the fight for Puerto Rican independence and against U.S. colonial rule.

In 1967 he founded and led the Armed Revolutionary Independence Movement. He was later a key organizer with the FALN, the Armed Forces of National Liberation and then the Boricua Popular Army, also known as the Los Macheteros.
The FBI considered Ojeda Rios a wanted fugitive because of his ties to a $7 million bank robbery in 1983 in Connecticut. He had been living underground for 15 years.

On Friday night, 500 supporters of independence protested the shooting by blocking one of the main roads in San Juan.
In New York, a protest took place yesterday at 26 Federal Plaza.
