Bodies Ashore Spur Trinidad Debate on U.S. Strikes

Two mangled bodies washed ashore on Trinidad's northeast coast after the United States' first September strike on a Caribbean boat, deepening a mystery over their identities and whether the attack killed them. Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar backs the U.S. campaign against alleged drug boats, setting Trinidad apart from most CARICOM members and drawing criticism as officials struggle for answers. Police cite decomposition and confusion over autopsies; no claims have been made for the remains. Separately, authorities are probing reports two Trinidadians died in a recent strike; relatives dispute allegations of drug trafficking.
