Description

Yasin Abu Bakr explains (in an interview or statement) why he and a Trinidadian radical Islamic group, the Jamaat al Muslimeen, have stormed the National Parliament in Port of Spain in the Caribbean Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (from where he now speaks). They feel the government in power is not made up of rightfully-elected officials.
