Abu Bakr<\/a>Probe into 1990 Coup<\/a>
\nTwenty years later, there is going to be a Commission of Enquiry into the July 27, 1990 attempted coup which was led by Imam Yasin Abu Bakr and members of the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen. The announcement was made by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar yesterday during at the post-Cabinet press briefing at the Office of the Prime Minister, St Clair.<\/p>\n

PM: Why did it happen?<\/a>
\nCabinet has decided a Commission of Inquiry into the circumstances of the July 27, 1990 attempted coup will take place to find out “what went wrong” and to “bring closure” and relief to citizens traumatised by the event.

‘Darkest hour coming to a close’<\/a>
\nFormer President Arthur NR Robinson, who was shot in the leg during the 1990 attempted coup, yesterday said a commission of inquiry into the event was long overdue.<\/p>\n

‘A good first step’<\/a>
\nFormer minister of national security in the NAR administration, Joseph Toney, welcomed news of the commission of inquiry into the 1990 attempted coup. <\/p>\n

Everything will be told–Bakr<\/a>
\nLeader of the Jamaat al Muslimeen Yasin Abu Bakr is in support of the proposed commission of enquiry into the 1990 coup attempt.<\/p>\n

Bakr: I leave it up to God<\/a>
\nWhile he has no problem with Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar’s decision to hold a commission of inquiry into the July 27, 1990 attempted coup, Jamaat-al-Muslimeen leader Imam Yasin Abu Bakr said he remains confident none of the Jamaat’s properties will be auctioned.<\/p>\n

Abu Bakr: Wait and see what happens<\/a><\/p>\n

Mixed responses over PM’s announcement<\/a><\/p>\n

The light – at last<\/a>
\nWe applaud, without reservation, the announcement by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar that an Inquiry will be held into the events of July 27, 1990. For far too long this dark page in our young nation’s history has remained covered, and there has never been a cogent reason given for this. <\/p>\n

11 Jamaat properties face auction<\/a>
\nEleven properties of the Jamaat al Muslimeen are to be put up for public auction on August 17.<\/p>\n
