The Independence Day Parade and State-sponsored fireworks have been cancelled to protect top state officials from attack, Legal Affairs Saddam Hosein and Homeland Security Minister Roger Alexander said yesterday.

The two made the announcement at a media conference at the Attorney General’s Office, Port-of-Spain, saying that within the 24 hours before the conference, which was called at 5.30 pm, Government had been advised to cancel the day’s activities.
