Trinidad Prime Minister Eager To Rebut Allegations

We have received a response with an updated news article that the Prime Minister of Trinidad, Patrick Manning strongly disputes allegations reported in a news summary that we linked to from this site. In most cases, this site simply aggregates brief summaries of stories from a variety of national and world online news sources and provides links to the actual publishers. This story appears to be related to a much older story that has resurfaced recently, amid unproven allegations. The Prime Minister has denied all allegations.

In light of this new article and our own research of several other newer articles we have removed the story summary. National Terror Alert apologizes if anyone, for any reason felt that the story or headline implied that Prime Minister Manning was involved with the group or the NYC case, in any manner. This is not the case, nor was it, or should it be inferred.

The Attorney General of Trinidad has made a statement to Parliament saying that both the Court of Appeal and Privy Council had rejected the affidavit as been scandalous, irrelevant and had ordered it be struck off the record.

In addition to the story itself, there is a separate issue of the headline, part of which was inadvertently cut off due to the structure of the blog. We are working on a solution to prevent that from being an issue in the future. The partial headline caused part of the confusion and concern.

The summary/story has been removed from our database and archives, and again we apologize.
