Guyana denies bail for 2 sons of JFK plot suspect
2007-06-14
A Guyanese judge denied bail Wednesday for two sons of a suspect accused of plotting to bomb New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport, ordering the pair to remain in jail on charges of illegal possession of ammunition.

Kareem and Iqra Kadir, sons of plot suspect Abdul Kadir, 55, a former opposition legislator in Guyana, pleaded not guilty when they made their first court appearance before Magistrate Judge Melissa Robertson-Ogle on the illegal munitions charge. Prosecutors said a single round of ammunition for a high-powered rifle, which the brothers were not licensed to own, was found hidden at their home in the eastern Guyanese city of Linden during a search by local police and FBI agents on Sunday.

#1  Under the British colonial era legislation still on the books in most of the Caribbean, possession of a live round, or even a spent cartridge or of lead shot, counts as "ammunition" and may get you up to 5 years in jail.

No right to bear arms there. Anyone wanting a firearm must apply to the Police for a permit.
This is granted on the discretion of the Commissioner of Police.
