BY JACK MOORE ON 2/9/18 AT 8:25 AM
American and British authorities have warned about a possible plot to attack the popular carnival that begins next week in Trinidad and Tobago.
The U.S. Embassy in Port of Spain, the Trinidadian capital, published a security alert on Thursday that said “U.S. government personnel are advised to exercise additional caution and increased situational awareness if they participate in Carnival events.”
Britain’s Foreign Office issued a travel advisory on Thursday that told British nationals to avoid large crowds in the country.
“Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Trinidad and Tobago,” it read.
Trinidad and Tobago police said the arrests were to stop “criminal activities” and that “several persons of interest” had been detained, according to CNN.
