5 charged in U.S. border agent's killing

[JonLP24]

WASHINGTON — The FBI offered a $1 million reward Monday for information leading to the arrest of four fugitives charged in the killing of a border agent whose death is at the center of a Washington showdown over a botched gun-trafficking operation.

The announcement came as the Justice Department unsealed an indictment charging the four men, along with a suspect who is in custody, in the killing of the agent, Brian Terry, who was shot while on patrol in an Arizona canyon in December 2010.

The indictment did not mention "Fast and Furious," the controversial gun-trafficking operation run by the Phoenix office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

But it was Terry's death that led to a congressional investigation of the operation and, more recently, a vote in the House of Representatives to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress.
