Canadians and British tourists have been warned terror attacks in
Trinidad and Tobago following reports of a threat to disrupt Carnival
in which four people were arrested.
The UK High Commission updated its travel advisory reflecting an
‘increased threat’ as follows:
“Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Trinidad
and Tobago; the Trinidad and Tobago authorities have arrested some
individuals who planned to carry out attacks against Carnival on 12
and 13 February 2018; an attack is still possible; the Trinidad and
Tobago government is increasing security measures for the Carnival;
you should remain vigilant and avoid crowded places and large
gatherings.”
Likewise, the Canadian High Commission in Trinidad and Tobago has also
warned Canadian tourists to watch out for terrorist attacks.
“The Government of Trinidad and Tobago has arrested individuals who
planned to carry out an attack at Carnival, which is taking place from
February 11 to 13, 2018. An attack still cannot be ruled out. The
Government of Trinidad and Tobago has increased security measures
around Carnival events. If you are attending or plan to attend
Carnival, exercise extreme caution.”
The advisory adds that terrorist attacks in Trinidad could “occur at
any time”.
In an emergency media briefing on Thursday, the Trinidad and Tobago
Police Service (TTPS) said four suspects had been held after police
learned of a plot to disrupt Carnival.
The TTPS PRO Assistant Superintendent Michael Jackman said active
operations are continuing in relation to the threat and added that the
safety of the public is of paramount importance during this time.
In light of these developments, members of the public are urged to
exercise extreme caution and report suspicious activities.
