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.

The intelligence was also shared with head of the National Security Council Prime Minister Dr Keith Rowley, Attorney General Faris Al-Rawi and Minister of National Security Edmund Dillon.

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.

The report said TT has long been an area of concern for the US military and intelligence communities as it is assessed to be home to ISIS sympathisers with officials saying that some of its citizens have travelled to Iraq and Syria to join extremist groups.

During the several weeks of surveillance, the team targeted several people from the El Socorro district and others from Laventille, Enterprise and Bamboo Settlement in Valsayn.

On Wednesday and Thursday they targeted five mosques at El Socorro, Munroe Road, Sangre Grande, Bamboo and Laventille. The searches centred on finding explosive devices including bombs, hand grenades and arms and ammunition .

Although nothing was found during the raids, the team believes the devices are concealed somewhere.

Yesterday, relatives of the detainees said they do not know where they are and are not being given any information.

In a release yesterday, the Ministry of National Security said it was satisfied that security agencies are well prepared to secure the public’s safety during Carnival. The minister commended the police for their “timely unearthing and aversion of a potential threat” on Thursday, saying it was “the result of continued implementation of an integrated, intelligence-led strategy.”

Yesterday public relations officer of Muslims of TT, Imtiaz Mohammed, described the arrests of the men as an attempt to embarrass the community. He described, as a hoax, information that there were plans to disrupt the Carnival activities and also believes it is part of a plan by the US and TT government to get the population to support a bill to amend the Terrorist Act.

The authorities did not name the individuals. Reporter Marc Bassant called out those names in a question to ASP (Ag.) Michael Jackman. Jackman said he could not admit nor deny that those were the persons being held. The assumption there is that Marc Bassant got those names through journalistic investigations.

[toyolink]

In some ways carnival for many citizens is a sort of invasion of terrorists.
Many actually find themselves leaving their home and seeking refuge in vacation spots.
.......Oh well, I sincerely wish that everybody exercise good judgement and can see ash Wednesday all safe and sound.

Carnival is the work of Satan, they even dress like the Devil. Ask any PNM pastor and they will tell you 2 things

1) The best solution is to ban Carnival

2) Jesus said to vote for the PNM

Hearing that police had a serious exercise in Cunupia this afternoon and raided a mosque detaining persons. Can anyone confirm? It seems to be related to the el Socorro raids

Police came down in Kalloo Trace, Warrenville, yesterday afternoon and I think they took one person. Same street was home to arshard mohammed who took his family (wife and three kids I believe) and went up syria to fight with Isis.

Grew up with these fellas...went to mosque with them. The emergence of the salafist and wahabist death cults via Saudi funding is happily being drunken throughout the country (especially in some of the mosques mentioned in the report).

I think what really generates this amongst young men (and their families), is a general acceptance of this Islamist fudamentalism strain. When mama, papa and the family actively encouraging this warped thinking and intolerance of anything other than being a strict Muslim (everyone and everything else is haram) then this nonsense happens. It becomes an extension of an Isis recruitment facility.

Unless the Muslim community actively engages and takes responsibility (instead of feeling oppressed) and seeks to work with the rest of society, this sheit Will continue and by that I mean America security force will fack them up (and the rest of the country will be collateral).

[zoom rader]

All this time men thought Sat Marajah was the enemy

[dso]

And too be clear, the rest of society refers to those who looking for constructive solutions for this 3rd world hole we are in...since 11am some idiot has had soca kingdom on repeat for the whole of the village to hear so I can see why someone would go crazy and want to take extreme action...
