Georgetown : Head of the Presidential Secretary and Cabinet Secretary Dr. Roger Luncheon said that there have been no concerns raised with the Guyana Government about the setting up of terrorist cells in the country.
Dr. Luncheon was responding to a question raised during post-Cabinet media briefing and which referred to a recent media article stating that a high-profile Argentine lawyer had indicated that Iranians have been setting up such cells in the Caribbean and Guyana.
Dr. Luncheon said that the allegations which surfaced from the disclosures made by the Prosecutor General from Argentina “were the first that were being brought to our attention indirectly.”
He further stated that neither the Argentine Government nor international bodies have submitted to the Government of Guyana, “in any official way that they have evidence or concerns about setting up of terrorist cells by Iran in Guyana.”
Dr. Luncheon reiterated that apart from the disclosure by a high official in the Argentine legal infrastructure, “neither our bilateral nor the international community has made any formal notification to the Government of Guyana about the setting up of terrorist cells in Guyana.”
