Rel­a­tives of Chad Joseph, one of two Trinidad and To­ba­go na­tion­als be­lieved to have been killed in US air strikes last year, are again re­ject­ing claims that he was not killed by Amer­i­can bombs.

Speak­ing at a me­dia brief­ing fol­low­ing the 51st Reg­u­lar Meet­ing of the Con­fer­ence of Cari­com Heads of Gov­ern­ment in St Lu­cia on Wednes­day, Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar said there was no ev­i­dence to sup­port claims that na­tion­als of this coun­try were among those killed dur­ing US mar­itime in­ter­dic­tions.

“All our in­ves­ti­ga­tions, our lo­cal law en­force­ment, every­thing, noth­ing has giv­en us any ev­i­dence” that the in­di­vid­u­als said to have been killed were cit­i­zens of Trinidad and To­ba­go, she said.
