Countrycide

 Now this is quite interesting.

Investigations are showing, according to Police Commissioner Trevor Paul, that the explosion in Port of Spain on Wednesday night was in connection with a “domestic row”. How bizare? Terrorism in response to a domestic dispute?
How much more strangeness can this bombing trend bear before we have to call in Scully and Mulder?
Commissioner Trevor Paul said an arrest will be made soon and “I don’t think that it is something that is the beginning of some trend, I don’t think so at all,”. No, Mr. Paul, I expect its in the middle of the trend.

National Security Minister Martin Joseph said  “So far the investigations are saying to us that it is a domestic row so I am asking members of the public not to panic. There isn’t cause to be overly concerned. We have the investigations well in hand and we should be arresting someone soon in treating with that domestic situation.”
“We are almost at the end of our investigations and there is no need for the public to be panicking. People can go about their business as usual in the city.”
For God’s sake “Mart-in, you so cray-zy”, dont deport the suspect this time please!!

Meanwhile the only victim Shorn Roberts, says he knows nothing about this “domestic matter”, though police are saying that he and another female present were the intended targets. Reqaurding the police claims Roberts says “This is the first time a thing like this happen in my whole entire life. I can’t say how the police come to that conclusion.”

Neither can I Roberts, but this is Trinidad, land of the strange, calypso and steel band, and occasional terrorism.

Another bombing happened in Port of Spain, Trinidad on the night of April 2nd 2008 at 10.15 p.m. One bystander was injured. But first some back story for the inquisitive and the clueless.
Vatang Agrunov (who uses the aliases Bhatang Agranouve and Dahtang Mik Agarunov was arrested after the bombings in Port of Spain in 2005. Trinidad authorities apprehended the Israeli national with a visa extension stamp and what appeared to be bomb related equipment, living in a shack in Arouca.

Authorities suspected that he was involved in the July 11, August 10, September 10, and November 3 bombings in Port of Spain, though it is claimed he entered Trinidad on October 18.

Israelis are not required to have a visa to enter Trinidad but they are required to have one to enter Venezuela. An extended Trinidad visa would permit easy entry into Venezuela from Trinidad.

The Trinidad police believed Agrunov was going to falsify his passport to remain in the country illegally. Caribbean authorities have intelligence that Agrunov is a terrorist. The Israeli embassy in Caracas intervened in the arrest of the suspected terrorist as did, suspiciously, the FBI. Agrunov was deported from Trinidad to Israel on November 15 after the Israeli Consulate in Port of Spain paid his bail which was reported to be only $TT 2,500.
Agrunov played dumb, first claiming he did not steal an immigration extension stamp that could be illegally used to grant visa extensions in Trinidad.
According to the Trinidad and Tobago Express, in broken English and proffering a sob story, Agrunov told police, “I just want to say I take the stamp and finish this story. I don’t want to stay in this country any longer. I want to go home. I just want to finish this and go back to my country because my family does not know what happened to me.”

Our latest bomber as described by witnesses was a man disguised as a vagrant in the yard of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. He was carrying two bags, one of which he reached into and pulled the explosive device. He threw it across the wall of the church in the direction of the people at the taxi stand and then ran off. The bomb landed in a drain and caused a loud explosion. (a convenient excuse to remove the vagrants from the streets if I ever saw one)
But if you are looking for a motive we can surely find better ones than that. You should ask yourself who would gain the most from the is crime.
The express reported “The bombing occurred just hours after Prime Minister Patrick Manning delivered a televised address to the nation in which he outlined measures being undertaken to deal with crime.”
“Last night’s explosion occurred as the National Security Ministers within the Caricom begin their meeting today at the Hilton, St Ann’s, on regional crime and security. That meeting precedes the special two-day Caricom Heads of Government Conference on crime and security at the hotel that begins tomorrow.”
These events seem to closely mimic those of the September 11 attacks in New York. Too many big coincidences and unexplained actions by those involved.
Todays Express story, on the matter of the previous bombings says “The person/persons responsible for those attacks remain at large.”
I should think so. We let him go didn’t we?
