Barbados Free Press has it from “a confidential source” [1] that “British and South African intelligence agencies and counter-terror units are to play major planning and operational roles in providing security for the 2007 Cricket World Cup” (which is being hosted by several Caribbean territories). The same source says, however, that “offers of U.S. assistance are being under-utilized because of anti-American bias by Caribbean leadership.”
