80 ‘terrorist’ Entities Identified In T&T,

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) — Authorities in the twin-island nation of Trinidad and Tobago have frozen the assets of three peo­ple and 75 enti­ties under the anti-ter­ror­ism act.

Attorney General Faris al-Rawi says the High Court recent­ly approved the des­ig­na­tions based on legal sub­mis­sions from his office. The peo­ple and enti­ties were not iden­ti­fied in a state­ment issued by the attor­ney gen­er­al late Thursday.

Trinidad’s gov­ern­ment has now des­ig­nat­ed 80 “ter­ror­ist” enti­ties in the coun­try. The attor­ney gen­er­al says more are expect­ed as a result of inves­ti­ga­tions involv­ing local and inter­na­tion­al agencies.

The US State Department has said that more than 70 nation­als of Trinidad and Tobago are believed to have joined Islamic State and a recent issue of the group’s mag­a­zine fea­tured a fight­er from Trinidad. http://​www​.jamaicaob​serv​er​.com/​l​a​t​e​s​t​n​e​w​s​/80 — ter­ror­ist – enti­ties-iden­ti­fied-in-T‑T
