T&T: Muslim watch

THREE Muslim fundamentalist groups in this country are kept under constant surveillance, the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force yesterday informed high-ranking military officials from over a dozen countries.

The officials were told to be aware of them, and if approached by any members of the groups, to make a report.

The groups named were the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen, the Waajihatul Islaamiyyah, based in Princes Town, and the Jamaat al Murabiteen, which, the Express was informed, operates from a Central location.

The Princes Town group allegedly had stored arms in the mosque in preparation for their participation in the attempted coup of 1990. It was common knowledge at the time because many spoke of it in the Princes Town market.
