More than 24 hours af­ter meet­ing with Venezue­lan Am­bas­sador Ál­varo Sánchez Cordero, Trinidad and To­ba­go is still await­ing an of­fi­cial re­sponse from the Venezue­lan au­thor­i­ties re­gard­ing the iden­ti­ty of a pur­port­ed na­tion­al re­port­ed­ly in their cus­tody.

Last Wednes­day, Venezue­lan Jus­tice Min­is­ter Dios­da­do Ca­bel­lo, speak­ing on the tele­vi­sion pro­gramme Con El Ma­zo Dan­do, al­leged that a Trinidad and To­ba­go na­tion­al was in­volved in “ter­ror­ist ac­tiv­i­ties” aimed at desta­bil­is­ing Venezuela on June 2.

Speak­ing in Span­ish, Ca­bel­lo held up a smart­phone and iden­ti­fied the in­di­vid­ual as “Gis Kendel Jheron”, an iden­ti­ty Trinidad and To­ba­go au­thor­i­ties have not yet con­firmed.
