War on bandits

TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO’S Attorney General Anand Ramlogan yesterday declared war on the criminal element in that country.
“I want to say to the bandits that the war is on,” Ramlogan said as Trinidad’s first day of a limited state of emergency took effect from midnight on Sunday.
Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar early on Sunday declared the action to be taken in what she described as “hot spots” across the country, with a curfew imposed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. for the next two weeks.
Her decision was apparently prompted following a crime spree over the weekend in which  11 people were killed in just over 48 hours. (Trinidad Express/TS)
