KINGSTOWN, St Vincent — The US government has evacuated its Peace Corps volunteers from St Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) at short notice after their safety was threatened by what appears to be a modern-day equivalent of Eric Gairy’s infamous paramilitary “Mongoose Gang” in neighbouring Grenada.

According to the US embassy in Barbados, the Peace Corps volunteers were airlifted from St Vincent to Saint Lucia due to a specific safety reason, without elaborating on the precise reason.

However, a US government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Caribbean News Now that an influential regional government had falsely informed the government of SVG that Peace Corps personnel were in fact US intelligence agents.
