TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO: Fourth bomb explodes; still no clues
A fourth bomb in as many months exploded last week in the St James district of Port-of-Spain, injuring 14 people. Police briefly arrested the leader of the Jamaat al Muslimeen*, Yasin Abu Bakr, and four followers, but released them after 36 hours. No person or organisation has claimed responsibility for the bombings and the authorities have no solid leads.
