For­mer prime min­is­ter Arthur NR Robin­son, said he could not re­mem­ber a mem­ber of the Na­tion­al Al­liance for Re­con­struc­tion's (NAR) A-Team, Den­nis Corn­wall, telling him that there was go­ing to be a takeover of the coun­try. Robin­son made the dis­clo­sure yes­ter­day in re­sponse to ques­tions by the Com­mis­sion of En­quiry in­to the 1990 coup d'etat. Com­mis­sion deputy chair­man Sir Richard Chel­tenham asked the ques­tion based on ev­i­dence giv­en by for­mer NAR par­lia­men­tar­i­an, Rawle Raphael on Mon­day, that Corn­wall and oth­ers told him that the Ja­maat al Mus­limeen was go­ing to stage an up­ris­ing.

Raphael said he took it as a big joke and told the men to re­port it to then na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty min­is­ter, Sel­wyn Richard­son, and Robin­son. He said as far as he was aware, Robin­son was told. Raphael, on Mon­day, af­ter be­ing probed by com­mis­sion chair­man, Sir David Sim­mons, dis­closed that Ja­maat al Mus­limeen mem­ber, Lance Small, pur­port­ed­ly in­volved in the bomb­ing of John F Kennedy Air­port, was a mem­ber of the NAR's A-Team. He said Small was one of the peo­ple who told him that the Mus­limeen were go­ing to stage an in­sur­rec­tion..
