The country is approaching the 24th year since the failed attempt to overthrow the Government and the Constitution. The Report of the Commission of Enquiry Into the Events Surrounding the Attempted Coup published in March 2014 reveals the stratagems which, although these happened 24 years ago, resonate today.
On July 27, 1990, "armed members of the Jamaat al-Muslimeen staged an insurrection in Port-of-Spain. The leaders of the insurrection were Muslim fundamentalists who purported to follow the Qur'an literally."
Several groups, operating tactically and simultaneously with each other, blew up the headquarters of the Police Service on St Vincent Street, invaded the Parliament when it was in session, and attacked and occupied T&T Television and Radio Trinidad. Some unidentified members of the Jamaat attempted to firebomb the National Broadcasting Service, but abandoned their attempt. The group that invaded the Parliament reportedly received training in Libya and elsewhere.
