Now I do not know if anyone will be able to receive a bounty from the DoS Narcotics Rewards Program, because Biojo was worth about $2.5 million dollars.(see the reward below)
The $500,000 divided up between these three folks must have come from the government of Colombia? Who knows, but either way, good on them for providing the tips. –Matt

Colombia: 3 share $500K for tips on bombed rebels
09/21/2010
Colombia’s national police chief says three informants will divide a reward of up to $500,000 for leading authorities to the rebel camp where the military killed at least 22 insurgents in an air raid.
Gen. Oscar Naranjo also said Monday that a prominent veteran of the Revolutionary Armed Forces, or FARC, was killed in Sunday’s pre-dawn bombing near the border with Ecuador.
He identified the slain rebel as Domingo Biojo (Bee-oh-HO), a 55-year-old who had spent half his life in the FARC.
Officials say the rebels killed Sunday were from the same FARC unit that killed eight police officers nine days earlier.
Sunday’s attack marked Colombia’s biggest military success since President Juan Manuel Santos took office Aug. 7.

The FARC is a foreign terrorist organization in Colombia that was established in 1964 with a Marxist philosophy and the declared intent to overthrow the democratic Colombian government. The FARC is Latin America’s oldest, largest, most capable and best-equipped insurgency — with perhaps 12,000 fighters and thousands of supporters, mostly in rural areas. In addition to its attacks on Colombian military, political and economic targets, the FARC’s various fronts are deeply involved in narcotics trafficking, kidnapping for ransom, extortion, murder and other criminal activities. Today, the FARC controls the majority of cocaine manufacturing and distribution within Colombia, and is responsible for much of the world’s cocaine supply and what is trafficked to the United States.
SIXTO ANTONIO CABANA GUILLEN, also known as “Domingo Bioho” is a Member of the Estado Mayor and participated in setting and implementing the FARC’s cocaine policies directing and controlling (i) the production, manufacture, and distribution of hundreds of tons of cocaine to the United States and the world; (ii) the “taxation” of the drug trade in Colombia to raise funds for the FARC; and, (iii) the murder of hundreds of people who violated or interfered with the FARC’s cocaine policies.
In mid-March 2009, a suspect believed to be Cabana Guillen was arrested in Ecuador. Ecuadorian National Police verified through the Colombian National Police that the fingerprints of the arrested individual did not match those of Cabana Guillen.
The U.S. Department of State is offering a REWARD OF UP TO $2.5 MILLION for information leading to the arrest and/or conviction of SIXTO ANTONIO CABANA GUILLEN.

Don’t know if this (below) is in any way connected to Biojo getting waxed, but I don’t believe in coincidences…

FBI cites terror link in raids of local activists.
===
It appears as though all of those targeted by the FBI have connections to FARC, and apparently at least some of them may also have connections to HizbAllah, HAMAS, and the ISM (US based terrorist support group).
