Two protesters were shot dead yesterday after an unruly band invaded the presidential complex, ransacked offices and threatened staff just hours before CARICOM Heads were to open a meeting in Georgetown.
In the looting and fiery mayhem that followed, two stores on Regent Street were gutted and arson attempts made on others but the Heads of Government Summit opening proceeded as planned without a glitch.
Days of concern that a plan was afoot to disrupt the CARICOM Summit and embarrass the government materialised during the confrontation in which ten were injured including a security officer at the Office of the President.
