New York gun smugglers in alleged plot to kill former national security minister

Robert Montague, former minister of national security

(Jamaica Gleaner) Security has been increased around former Minister of National Security, Robert Montague, following reports out of the United States of a possible threat on his life by gunrunners.

Montague, who was reassigned to the ministry of transport and mining in the recent Cabinet reshuffle, has now been granted additional police personnel at all times, with security also beefed up at his house.

So far, there has been no official word on what Sunday Gleaner sources say is a high-level probe being carried out by local and international law enforcement agencies, but local police sources said the threat is being taken seriously.
