CRIMINOLOGIST Darius Figuera says Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar may have been misled by the US government, prompting her 'kill all traffickers' comments. He now warns the nation to prepare for a rougher road ahead.

“If you’ve bought in, lock, stock, and barrel, to a strike that doesn’t even validate the official word of the Trump administration, then you’ve bought into a con. The ride will get rougher before it gets any smoother. The road ahead will be bumpy,” Figuera said in a phone interview on September 3.

Persad-Bissessar, responding to a September 2 US strike that allegedly killed 11 people aboard a vessel claimed to be linked to the Venezuela-based transnational criminal organisation Tren de Aragua (TDA), said: “The US military should kill them all violently.”
