Security personnel assigned to the Parliament, as well as intelligence officers within the T&T Police Service, say they are in the dark concerning any threats against Government MPs or ministers.
Speaking under the condition of anonymity yesterday, security officials who deal with the protection of the Parliament said they were only made aware of supposed threats after the disclosure was made by Attorney General John Jeremie and was subsequently aired and published by the media.
During the debate on a bill to provide for a parole system on Wednesday, Jeremie revealed that a national security incident sparked by a Belmont gang member last Friday, had triggered a higher degree of protection of MPs in Parliament and certain Government officials had to be given additional protection.
