Trinidad neighbors startled by plot charges
Residents of Trinidad were stunned on Sunday that two men were arrested on the island on charges of plotting to blow up fuel tanks at New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport.
“What! That old man is a terrorist? I don’t believe that. Look, you really don’t know who your neighbor is. That man is a good man. He is like a community leader. He helps everybody, ” the Sunday Guardian quoted Anthony Smith as saying.
Smith was speaking about his neighbor in Trinidad’s eastern community of Tacarigua, Kareem Ibrahim, who along with former Guyanese parliamentarian Abdul Kadir were arrested by police last week on a warrant to commit acts of terrorism in the United States.
The two were among four accused of plotting, including Abdel Nur, a Guyanese, believed to be at large in Trinidad. A third man was arrested in New York and the fourth is at large in Trinidad. Kadir and Ibrahim were due to appear in a Port of Spain court yesterday, when proceedings to have them extradited to the United States to face the charges were scheduled to begin.
