The Society of the Muslim Brothers (Al-Ikhwan al Muslimeen, the Muslim Brotherhood) is one of world's largest and most influential Islamic political organizations. Its affiliates operate as the main opposition parties in several Arab states, as a ruler in the Palestinian Gaza Strip and as the leading Muslim institutions in Western Europe and the United States. In today's Egypt, where it was founded in 1928 by Hassan al- Banna, a 22-year-old schoolteacher and strict Islamic fundamentalist, and following an 83-year period of operating as a mostly underground organization, it is on the verge of emerging as a potential governing party when parliamentary elections are held, as expected, in September.
For most of the past three weeks, an independent panel of lawyers and professionals has been inspecting evidence about what transpired on a hot, steamy afternoon on July, 27, 1990, when members of a fringe group calling themselves the "Jamaat al Muslimeen" stormed the parliament and other state buildings in an attempt to overthrow then-Prime Minister Ray Robinson and his cabinet. The panel has so far heard from several leading figures, including the 83-year-old Robinson, who told how rebels shot him in the knees and brutalized him after he had called on the military to "attack with full force" as the rebels held legislators, media and citizens at rifle-point during nearly a week of siege in the oil- and gas-rich, most southerly Caribbean nation of 1.3 million.

* Abdul Kadir, a family man in Guyana, wanted to attend a conference in Iran, His arrest indicates that the U.S. government wants to embarrass Iran.

The government's allegations were that these men were in some way linked to a local Trinidad Sunni group called "Jamaat al Muslimeen." Now it turns out that the arrested persons are Shias and have no links, direct or indirect, with the Trinidad group of Sunnis.

PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC: LEADER OF the Jamaat al Muslimeen, Yasin Abu Bakr has been ordered to stand trial on treason charges after a High Court judge said he was convinced that the accused could receive a fair trial in Trinidad. The judge said that the issue of pre-trial publicity in this case was 'nothing new,' noting also that "Bakr being called an insurrectionist was not inaccurate, and could not be avoided" due to the events of July, 1990 when the Muslim leader led more than 100 men in a failed attempt at overthrowing the then government of prime minister ANR Robinson.
