Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 65948, member: 636"] Trinidad and Tobago opened an inquiry after two citizens died in a U.S. military operation near Venezuela last month. American forces targeted boats suspected of drug trafficking in the southern Caribbean, and authorities identified the victims as fishermen who may have been caught in the strike. Relatives said they received minimal details about the incident and demanded clarity about the circumstances. Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar said her administration supports anti-narcotics efforts but will pursue answers if citizens were harmed. A government representative told local outlets the country will work until facts emerge. Washington defended the actions as part of regional efforts to disrupt trafficking networks. Regional frustration grows as officials face pressure to explain the deaths and prevent future casualties among civilians. [/QUOTE]
