Acting Police Commissioner Junior Benjamin says police have no additional information about the threat to US facilities in TT other than what is already in the public domain, but added there is no local intelligence to suggest citizens have any need to worry.

In a social media post on October 18, the US Embassy advised US nationals to be on alert and urged them to avoid visiting US facilities in TT.

"Due to a heightened state of alert, please avoid and refrain from visiting all US government facilities in Trinidad and Tobago through the Divali holiday weekend."
