I'd never heard of these guys. Evidently they've helped the US wage the War on Drugs in Columbia, like so:

Paramilitaries Launch New Wave of Threats against Colombian Journalists
Tuesday 22 March 2011, by Monica Medel - The Knight Center for Journalism
Reporters without Borders (RSF) reports that it has received a copy of a new set of threats against journalists and human rights activists in Colombia from the Black Eagles paramilitary group, which for the last five years has engaged in acts of violence and intimidation against the press.
According to RSF, the message came via email from “fenixaguilasnegras” (fenix black eagles) and called five journalists “military targets:” Claudia Julieta Duque, Daniel Coronell, Marcos Perales Mendoza, and Hollman Morris – a group that had been previously threatened in February.
The Colombian Federation of Journalists (Fecolper), whose president was among those threatened, said that another paramilitary group, Los Urabeños, sent a threatening phone call to Enlace Televisión reporter Mónica Arcella, who is based in Barrancabermeja, Santander (near a recent attack against a TV crew).
The Federation of Latin American and Caribbean Journalists (FEPALC) demanded progress from the Colombian government in the investigations into the February threats.
I guess members of a death squad could be called "undercover agents."
