US troops helped T&T cops capture “high value targets”—CNN

There’s been no response from the US Embassy in T&T on a CNN report that US military personnel helped capture the individuals detained by police on Thursday concerning a plot to disrupt Carnival.

Police said they had unearthed “credible information” of the threat, with ASP Michael Jackman confirming the individuals planned to engage in criminal conduct to disrupt activities surrounding Carnival 2018.

CNN quoted two US military officials, adding military personnel from US Southern Command, which oversees US military operations in the region, “advised and assisted local Trinidadian security forces in apprehending the four extremists who are believed to be part of a network engaged in plotting terror attacks.”

Sniffer dogs, random security checks at Piarco

T&T Defence Force (TTDF) members are said to be on “high alert” and will be dispatched over the next few days to work alongside the T&T Police Service (TTPS), as security measures are heightened to ensure a safe Carnival 2018 for tourists and citizens.

This heightened approach came on the heels of police announcing they had disrupted an imminent “terrorist” threat to disrupt the Carnival celebrations in Port-of-Spain.

FBI tip on terror threat

US law-enforcement officers, including the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), tipped off TT’s Special Branch and the Strategic Services Agency (SSA) in December last year on plans by a certain group of local Muslims to bomb the US Embassy in Port of Spain between Carnival Monday and Tuesday.

This led to US law-enforcement officers working alongside the local team, using state-of-the-art surveillance equipment and wire-tapping to intercept, what has been described as, coded messages between people of interest who had been linked to Islamic State (ISIS).

Four people who were detained between Wednesday and Thursday were being interviewed by the FBI at four different police stations yesterday.

The story has now gone international. CNN yesterday reported that US soldiers participated in anti-terror raids in TT on Thursday, helping to capture four “high-value targets.” The US troops did not participate in any direct combat.

Terror threat fails to stop Canboulay crowds

The performance traced the evolution of Carnival as a form of expression among the recently freed African slaves in 1838, to the continued struggles of their descendants, culminating in the Canboulay Riot in February 1881. After Emancipation, the colonial government tried to ban elements of expression ostensibly as a threat to public peace, including banning drumming, congregating and Afro-centric religions (like Orisha).

Port of Spain’s Poet Laureate, Pearl Eintou Springer. Springer herself had a scene-stealing moment as an impassioned elderly former slave speaking to the younger generation about the importance of the fight for freedom.

Quite a long tirade there fella, it was the US intelligence that made the assessment and I happen to agree with them. We are not going to see acts like in NY and London but to deny it would be foolish.

By the way, these people are not pulling stuff outta their asses, these are assessments based on conditions for such acts.

Its Bullshit.

So these Trinis were on suicide missions too?

You know any Trini Isis ? Ever spoke to any or their families who jumping right now as I type ?

Where did they pull WMDs from,out of who's ass? Surely that's bigger than some Trini Isis attack in Trini.

Look pal...steups..its bullshit and those men are going to be released..

Newsweek quoted Harry Sarfo, a German who returned home and is now in jail, who reportedly said some of the Caribbean foreign fighters had become members of special ISIS units known as Jaysh al-Khalifa, or the “Army of Caliphate.”


TRINISIS have made it to the terror elite ranks, do you think they are going to let it (training and expertise) go to waste?

The terror assessment was made before Trump took office.

I sure as hell hope it's not true but I'm not going to stick my head in the sand and pretend that it's never going to happen.

Nonsense. Where have I indicated that?

Is warning people to be aware the same as wanting them to be attacked?

They say is not a terror plot...no details on the nature...no details on the perps...

I think the only plot to disrupt carnival is the wining police...

there is something nasty afoot.

I wonder if the police using the Anglo-American techniques of invoking terror to assume sweeping powers..
