PRIME Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar continued to defend the installation of a US military radar at ANR International Robinson Airport in Tobago, by endorsing Commissioner of Police Allister Guevarro's crediting of the radar's use in helping police seize $171 million marijuana in an unmanned boat in the Caroni Swamp.

She made her statement when she addressed a Caribbean Examinations Council (CXC) awards ceremony at Government Campus Plaza, Port of Spain on December 11.

Persad-Bissessar said, "Using the radar that we installed in Tobago. We were able today to drug bust $171 million worth of illegal drugs in TT."
