MURDER Suspects (WANTED) For killing Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Federal investigators offered up to $1 million on Monday for information about a U.S. border agent's 2010 death, the same case that is fueling an election-year firestorm between the Obama administration and congressional Republicans.

Republicans highlighted the death of U.S. Border Patrol agent Brian Terry as they investigated Operation Fast and Furious, a since-abandoned program that targeted the flow of illegal guns across the U.S.-Mexico border to drug cartels.

Two guns found at the scene of Terry's death in Arizona were among those that the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives attempted to track as part of the botched gun-control operation.

The reward of up to $1 million is for information leading to the arrests of four of the men who are not in custody.
The five men charged with first-degree murder are Manuel Osorio-Arellanes, Jesus Rosario Favela-Astorga, Ivan Soto-Barraza, Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes and Lionel Portillo-Meza. They face other charges including assault on a federal officer.

A sixth defendant, Rito Osorio-Arellanes, pleaded guilty in February to a single count of conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, court records say.
