St. Vincent did not give US OK for boat strikes
SAN JOSÉ, Costa Rica (AP) — The prime minister of St. Vincent and the Grenadines says his government did not give the U.S. authorization for a recent strike on an alleged drug boat in local waters. Prime Minister Godwin Friday said at a press conference on Tuesday that his administration found out about the deadly Feb. 13 strike through social media and online reports. Friday said that Caribbean leaders recently met to talk among themselves about security and safety concerns of U.S. drone strikes in local waters and would pursue the matter with U.S. authorities.
