Factory owner worried after second failed attack |
|
The 36-year-old businessman said so yesterday following a second failed grenade attack on the premises.
A
second failed grenade attack The
mini-fragmentation bomb did not
explode Monday night but, if it did,
his employees might also have been
killed, Kishan told the Guyana
Chronicle yesterday. He
said he was not present when the
discovery was made but staff members
told him that, when they arrived for
work, they found the grenade in the
building where windows are
manufactured. Kishan
said the pin was missing and the
explosive appeared to be old and
corrosion could have been the reason
it did not detonate before Police
took it away. He
said neighbours reported seeing four
men, who disembarked a motor car,
lurking in front of the place on
Monday night. Kishan said it was the second time a grenade was set to go off there after a first attempt two weeks ago. On the previous occasion, the explosive was found in the compound between a bond and the factory and Police were summoned then, too. Kishan
said the persons responsible for the
Monday night incident fired several
gunshots, probably to scare his four
vicious Doberman dogs. He
said he will be implementing new
security measures and armed guards
would be on duty in an effort to
prevent a recurrence at his
three-year-old enterprise. Kishan
said the Monday night occurrence was
"very strange" because he
does not have problems with anyone
and operates "a crystal clear
business." Police who defused it said Kishan's employees spotted the grenade amongst some louvre window frames they were packing on Tuesday morning. Thursday, November 24, 2005 |
