Jagdeo says PPP had nothing to do with KN grenade incident

Declaring that his party had nothing to do with the lobbing of a grenade outside of Kaieteur News earlier this month, Opposition Leader Bharrat Jagdeo yesterday offered a range of theories on what might have led to the incident.

Speaking to reporters at his party’s headquarters yesterday, Jagdeo said  that the attack could’ve been an act of reprisal on Kaieteur News publisher  Glen Lall from members of the criminal underworld.

“Wikileaks revealed that the US government described Glen Lall as having serious contact within the criminal underworld. Could it be that some unpaid bill or something was the reason for this, because we saw the attack in the past on KN? I don’t want to do it on air but somebody should examine the cause of the sad killing of all of those pressmen,” Jagdeo said before declaring that the intellectual author of the attack could’ve been Lall himself.
