| Guerra,
who was gunned down in Wallerfield, East Trinidad, more than two
years ago, was reportedly involved in the plan to “set up”
Baksh with former Jamaat al Muslimeeen member, Riad Abdool-Quadir,
alias “Apache,” and two “minor players”.
Abdool-Quadir was shot dead in January 2003 in a “gang shooting”
in Princes Town, after he left a magistrate’s court on a charge
of possession of ammunition.
So-called former US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) informant Vernon
Paul has been changing his story about who really planted the drugs
in Baksh’s tank. At first he said it was a top UNC official
who was planning to set up Baksh.
Now he is saying that certain high-ranking People’s National
Movement (PNM) politicians were part of a plan, together with a
former senior Muslimeen member, to frame Baksh and UNC Chief Whip
Ganga Singh.
Paul, 42, is now saying that the plan was to help destabilise the
UNC in the 2002 general election.
He is saying the plan was that Baksh and Singh would be charged
with drug trafficking and possession of ammunition after the illegal
drugs were found at their home.
But the plot to plant cocaine and ammunition at Singh’s home
was abandoned, Paul related.
He is now naming dead kidnapper Abdool-Quadir as one of the men
who planted the cocaine in Baksh’s water tanks.
Paul claimed he has taped conversations of the meetings he arranged
at the homes of the PNM politicians where the plan was discussed.
He wants to provide the police with all the information in his possession
but Commissioner of Police Trevor Paul says that the former DEA
informant has a credibility problem and has brushed aside his allegations.
The Commissioner of Police said he has two unsigned statements from
Paul who has been changing his story.
Paul is now saying he has sent two signed statements to the Commissioner
of Police last week.
Others are saying that Paul (V) is calling the names of Guerra and
Abdool only because they are dead and can’t deny his lies.
