T&T Police detain 3 more in Carnival plot

The threat to disrupt Carnival 2018 is still very much on, acting Police Commissioner Stephen Williams stated yesterday as he announced that three more people are now in police custody following ongoing investigations into the matter.

A total of seven adult males have now been detained with respect to the threat, Williams said.

That threat, however, is not a "terrorist threat" and did not involve the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) unearthing "any threat in relation to any embassy or high commission with a diplomatic presence in Trinidad and Tobago", he said. Williams said talk of embassies being attacked were simply "rumours".

"The threat we speak about is of unusual criminal acts of varying forms, including violence," Williams said.


This doesn't make sense , but then we gats chupid people in charge. twisted

Speaking at a special media briefing called yesterday, Williams said he could not say whether the seven men arrested are Muslim, but gave the assurance that no particular group is being targeted.

Muslim Roundtable frowns upon action by lawmen



The Muslim Roundtable (MR) has expressed concern about certain alleged action in Thursday's searches.

"We hope the same diligence applies to the situation that resulted in the record number of murders in the last two years. We're willing to work with agencies on strategies to help reduce any threat coming from within the Muslim community."

Islamic Front leader Umar Abdullah said yesterday the 48-hour detention period had passed without any credible "information" being produced.

Aboud: Terror alert chased off junior bands, spectators

Aboud said this year’s event in downtown Port-of-Spain was unusually quiet in comparison to previous years.

“Lack of certainty are not conditions that are good for our Carnival. We felt the situation could have been handled to bring more certainty,” he said.

“I don’t know if it is connected to the doubts and fears that have been raised by others but we certainly feel the need for more involvement from a much higher level in the Government than the communications or some PR officer who deflected all of the questions the media had which basically reflect the concerns of the citizens.”

At a media briefing on Thursday, ASP Michael Jackman revealed there was a possible terrorist attack in the works but declined to elaborate.
