PRINCIPAL of the University of the West Indies St Augustine Campus Dr Bhoe Tewarie yesterday warned of “darker times” and terrorist attacks for the Caribbean in the wake of the war on Iraq. He was speaking at a conference held by the Behavioural Sciences Department of the Social Sciences Faculty at the Dudley Huggins Building at the University yesterday. Tewarie said it was important to ask the question whether there would be a terrorist response globally to the war.
