The Homeland Security Minister says, there is very little information about the reported killing of two Trinidad and Tobago nationals, by the US military in the waters of the southern Caribbean.

Chad Joseph and Rishie Samaroo are believed to have died when the US bombed a boat, in which they were passengers outside Venezuelan waters on Tuesday this week.

Mr. Joseph’s relatives say, he was killed while trying to return home, after six months in Venezuela.

The Americans say, the boat was carrying drugs.

This morning, minister Roger Alexander could provide very little details of the situation.

It was the fifth strike of the US military.

On the morning show on i95.5fm today, minister Alexander said, Mr. Joseph was known to the police when he was in the service.
