Apparently some Jehovah's witnesses was planning to attack a fete but they were caught before the act.

Police say they have uncovered a threat to disrupt Carnival activities and has taken action to suppress it.

The disclosure was made by ASP (Ag.) Michael Jackman at a news conference in Port-of-Spain on Thursday.

He did not reveal the nature of the threat but said the disruptions would have taken the form of 'criminal activities'.

As a result, he said police have detained "several persons of interest", the names of whom were not revealed.

He would later say that four people in total were held and are being questioned by the police.

ASP Jackman said the police and Defence Force are working together to provide necessary security and safety arrangements for Carnival 2018.

He has advised members of the public to remain vigilant and alert of their surroundings and to report anything suspicious to the police.

‘Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks,’ UK authorities say

Days ahead of the annual Carnival celebrations on the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, the Foreign Office has warned a terrorist attack on the Caribbean nation is “very likely”.

In an unusual late-night announcement, the FCO said: “The Trinidad and Tobago authorities have arrested some individuals who planned to carry out attacks against Carnival on 12 and 13 February.”

Despite the arrests, the Foreign Office warns of a continuing threat, saying: “Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Trinidad and Tobago.”

British visitors are told to “remain vigilant and avoid crowded places and large gatherings”.

Around 30,000 UK citizens visit Trinidad and Tobago each year. Some have family links with Trinidad, but most are tourists heading for Tobago. British Airways and Virgin Atlantic both fly twice-weekly from Gatwick to Tobago.

While the Caribbean is generally regarded as terrorist-free, Trinidad and Tobago is an exception. According to the Foreign Office, more than 100 citizens are believed to have travelled to Syria and Iraq to join Isis and “are likely to pose a security threat on return”.

The recruitment rate, relative to the nation's population of under 1.4 million, is around six times higher than in Britain.

As Isis crumbles in Syria, there are fears that returning jihadis could bring terror to the islands — with the additional risk that people who have been radicalised but failed to travel may turn on their fellow citizens.

According to reports Tariq Mohammed, 35 of El Socorro was detained at his home by heavily armed police officers and taken to Riverside Plaza where he was questioned for several hours.
Mohammed, the son of radio personality Shamoon Mohammed was later moved to the Belmont police station where he was expected to be kept for further interrogation.

If police just "do the job", instead of also going in front of a screen to say "aye, we're doing the job", the rest of us could go on appreciating whatever happiness we have.

There's always an Arquillian Battle Cruiser, or a Corillian Death Ray, or an intergalactic plague that is about to wipe out all life on this miserable little planet, and the only way these people can get on with their happy lives is that they DO NOT KNOW ABOUT IT!

TRINIDAD and Tobago's national security authorities obtained vital intelligence from international partners warning of a terrorist threat aimed at disrupting Carnival celebrations next Monday and Tuesday which led to an emergency news conference being called yesterday to alert the population of a threat.

Sources confirmed a recent jailbreak plot, which was pre-empted, was part of this national security threat.

Sources said the activities and plans of a local terrorist cell were uncovered and local law enforcement moved to detain a number of people in a raid that started at 3 a.m. yesterday.

Islamic radicals in tnt do know that Trinidad isn't Syria/Iraq and the middle east right? Trinidad is a very easy place to lock down. Where would they run to? laventille hills? Where will they hide? Someone need to stop these people from living in a dream.

500 marines on tnt soil and that's it for all radical elements in TnT. It not gonna take much. The more radical activity we face etc, the more boots and increased specialist activity(special operations forces) would take place in Trinidad. it wouldn't take much to clear out Trinidad at all.

Matter of fact, all this added attention might actually be good for Trinidad. More attention mean more military aid and training for our "soldiers" and police so maybe this is the wake up call we need.

Trust me. They don't want that fight to come to Trinidad and Tobago at all.

That's my problem with Trinis. They don't seem to be able to separate fact from fiction. Plenty people here operating on fiction. These ppl plotting attacks on trini soil operating on fiction.

They don't want that fight. You will not be dealing with TTDF. Somebody tell them that please. This will not be TTDF. This will be a group of men all the way back in the US coordinating drone strikes on TnT. They really believe that they ready for that fight? Steupsss

Leave that life in the middle east. That has nothing to do with us. We are the only country on this side of world with a hint of fundamental Islamic activity. You really feel the powers that be going to allow that.

The only thing they gonna achieve is make it hard for trinis to get visas etc.

With all this threat, isis recruitment, Nat Geo documentary of Trinidad linK to isis, etc.


Is it safe to assume that the threat on kamla life by the same isis members, who left here for Syria, to be true although the PNM opposition of the day downplayed it and denied it? The same PNM PM who denied we had an isis threat

^As you mention that, I've always heard but could never confirm that the US still has some "rights" to Chaguaramas (where their WWII base was located) and can re-activate it if circumstances warrant.

I think the location is going up by the radar station there there's a fork in the road and only army personnel i have seen gone there.

The hills are littered with bunkers like these also. And this was one of the smaller ones.
