For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs Min­is­ter Sean Sobers yes­ter­day con­firmed that au­thor­i­ties have ob­tained the co­or­di­nates of re­cent Unit­ed States mil­i­tary op­er­a­tions in the Caribbean, which ver­i­fy that the strikes oc­curred in in­ter­na­tion­al wa­ters—out­side T&T’s Ex­clu­sive Eco­nom­ic Zone (EEZ).

How­ev­er, he did not say whether the co­or­di­nates in­clude the lo­ca­tion of the Oc­to­ber 14 blast be­lieved to have killed two Trinida­di­ans—Chad “Char­po” Joseph and Rishi Sama­roo.

Speak­ing at the post-Cab­i­net me­dia brief­ing at the Diplo­mat­ic Cen­tre in St Ann’s, Sobers stressed that law-abid­ing boat op­er­a­tors have “ab­solute­ly noth­ing to fear.”
