The mother of Chad “Charpo” Joseph, one of two local men killed in a US airstrike supposedly targeting narco-traffickers, says she is putting the Government in God’s hands.
Her son and another man, identified as Richie Samaroo, were killed in the fifth airstrike last Tuesday. Government officials, including Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, reiterated the country’s support for the attacks, which many have described as extrajudicial killings.
In a statement on Sunday, the Ministry of Foreign and Caricom Affairs affirmed that the US operations were not intended to target law-abiding people, including fisherfolk and other seafarers trying to earn an honest living.
