While the international big press keeps its gaze set on any new developments coming out of London regarding 7/7 [1], the Caribbean blogosphere has done an excellent job covering yesterday's explosion in the Trinidad and Tobago capital city, Port of Spain.
Caribbean Free Radio has a podcast and skype interview [2] discussing the explosion. Christopher Yee Mon, a Trinidad native who posts on Subway Chronicles [3] from New York, has begun a Flickr group [4] to keep track of images related to the blast. Sirius, who was only blocks away from the bomb site at the time of the explosion, reports today that “there were also bomb threats yesterday at Trincity Mall and the Ministry of National Security.” He adds that several more bomb threats have come today and that the FBI is apparently helping in the investigations.
Taran Rampersad, currently on tour throughout the Caribbean, was one of the first bloggers to post [5] about the blast and has the most thorough information including a list of those injured [6] and a hyper-linked summary from around the blogosphere [7].
Finally, Brian Maloney questions ties to Al-Qaeda [8] while Indira claims it must be a local job [9].
