The US imperialism killed the Puerto Rican freedom fighter, Filiberto Ojeda Rios, and added with this act another to their terrorist attacks. Filiberto Ojeda Rios, the leader of the organization "Boricua Popular Army - Machateros" which fights for the independence of Puerto Rico, a colony of USA, was killed in a raid which was realized by the murderers of FBI in Puerto Rico on 23rd September, 2005. He responded the FBI killers with resistance and ended his life which he had sacrificed to the freedom of Puerto Rico with a resistance when he was 72 years old. This last resistance of him was a call for the peoples of the world to resist against imperialism. The targets of this terrorist attack of USA were all the peoples and the oppressed of the world which resist against imperialism, at first, the people of Puerto Rico. As the date of this assassination against Filiberto, the imperialist bandits chose the anniversary of the Lares Rebellion which the people of Puerto Rico had realized in 1868 against the Spanish colonialists for independence.

By this act, they tried to strengthen the effect of the menace they did.

The US imperialism finds legitimate all kinds of attacks, massacres and tortures to any force which resist against its colonialist and hegemonic interests. But it couldn't succeed in its efforts to justify these aggressive and murderer policies under the name of "fight against terrorism". It went to Afghanistan and Iraq with these arguments and with the lies about "freedom and democracy". But the terrorist essence of the "fight against terrorism" of imperialism was seen clearly in the torture chamber called Abu Ghraib and in the Guantánamo camps. The fight against terrorism is violation in Iraq, childrenmassacred in Palestine, execution in the streets of London.

The last answers to these terrorist attacks of the USA and other imperialists were the fall of Filiberto Ojeda Rios resisting with his arm in his hand, and the concentration of tens of thousands of Puerto Ricans in the streets after the assassination of Rios. The resistance of Filiberto was a bridge of fraternity between the peoples who resist in Latin America and those who resist in Iraq, Palestine, Kurdistan and all the Middle East.

Those who resist in the Middle East, in Latin America and all over the world will win! The workers, the toilers, and the oppressed people of the world will ask account from the imperialist aggressors, at first, from USA!

Filiberto Ojeda Rios will live forever in the fight for freedom and socialism!
