Previous | Next :: Burning Issues in Trinidad : Vehicle Fire : Trinidad | December 3, 2011, 8:04 pm

I was just listening to a BBC World Service report on the State of the crime emergency in Trinidad........ The government has claimed special powers in a 'state of emergency' situation....... They also claim to have recently uncovered a plot to assassinate members of the government....... On 25 November, Mrs Persad-Bissessar the Prime minister said the security forces had uncovered a plot to assassinate her and several of her government ministers. Sounds kind of weird....... many of the people living in the capital Port of Spain assume its not true....... and is some kind of mechanism to extend the State of emergency......... ah well even the paradise islands are not always paradise...... around 500 people were murdered on Trinidad last year...... when I was there a couple of years back...... I took this image of what appeared to be a a car crash....... it was certainly a burning vehicle in which a woman died...... but it was never clear to me how it was caused.
