Macheteros  

Definición

  • Los Macheteros—Spanish for “the Machete Wielders” (and also known as Boricua Popular Army; Ejercito Popular Boricua; EPB Movimiento Popular Revolucionario; Partido Revolucionario de Trabajadores Puertorriquenos)—was one of the more successful and dangerous Puerto Rican militant nationalist organizations. A splinter group of the FALN, another nationalist organization, the Macheteros emerged in the late 1970s and is believed to be responsible for numerous attacks on Puerto Rico's military and government, as well as one of the largest bank robberies in U.S. history.
