(Trinidad Express) Another Trinidadian has been unmasked fighting in Syria for the militant movement Islamic State (ISIS).
The man, according to well-placed sources, has been identified as Ashmead Mohammed, who had sworn his innocence during the 2011 state of emergency when he was detained over an alleged plot to assassinate the Prime Minister and other Government ministers. He was never charged.
In an article on September 16 on the New York Post website about a Syrian warplane that had been shot down by Islamic militants, there are accompanying photographs.
One of the photographs, labelled “Islamic State militants hold up pieces of the wreckage”, shows several men holding up pieces of the plane.
One of them prominently holding an automatic weapon, according to well-placed sources, appears to be Ashmead Mohammed.
A close friend of Mohammed contacted CCN about two weeks ago and said they were certain the person in this photograph was him.
Law enforcement sources said based on information they had received, Mohammed had travelled to Syria earlier this year to join ISIS.
