Bomb at Coconut Court

I have it on good authority that a chemical bomb exploded this afternoon at Coconut Court Hotel, Hastings, and that several were injured. I hope to have further details later.

if this is true it's the best kept secret in Barbados. Not in the media, no police record, no call in programme comment?

U sure about this?

Several of those doing volunteer work at The Garrison, for Silver Dollars, were in the presence of staff from Barbados Defence Force, who were also volunteering, one of whom was asked to go to deal with the incident. Several BDF staff passed on the road after the incident and also confirmed that there had been a bomb explosion. Ambulances were also seen heading to the hotel.
