Cops checking numbers in detained man’s phone

Nov 14, 2009 News

Police are checking the numbers in the mobile phone of a detained Albouystown man, Muammar Jabbar, for possible links to suspects in the recent ‘terror’ attacks at two police stations and other locations in the city.
Jabbar, 22, is a close friend of Charles Clarke, one of six men whom police say is linked to a local terrorist group.
The man’s father, Abdul Jabbar, said yesterday that a police official told him that investigators are checking his son’s mobile phone records to see if he has been in contact with any of the wanted men.
According to Mr. Jabbar, the official indicated that his son would be released today if no evidence is found to connect him to the suspects.
Muammar Jabbar’s parents say that he is employed as a sailor with Barama Timber Company, and that he was at sea when the recent attacks occurred.
He was taken into custody on Thursday while he was at his girlfriend’s home in Albouystown.
Jabbar’s father said that he was told by police officials that they had received reports that his son was seen in the company of a wanted man, and had even harboured the suspect, believed to be his friend, Charles Clarke.
But Clarke’s mother, Lorraine Clarke, insists that her son was in French Guiana when the Health Ministry was torched.
She said that her son left for Trinidad in October 2008, but returned to Guyana because his extension had expired. She said that her son left for French Guiana last May.
