Police in Trinidad and Tobago mounted a large scale operation Wednesday for a kidnapped businessman, killing three abductors during a shootout and rescuing the victim, Imran Mohammed-Khan, who was unhurt. The operation involved an air and ground search for the man who was kidnapped from his home early in the morning in full view of several witnesses.
According to media reports the man's brother witnessed the abduction and followed the perpetrators while he called police. The reports say Khan's brother kept the getaway vehicle in view while he communicated with police through a cell phone.
Officers from the Criminal Intelligence Unit, Anti-Kidnapping Unit, Crime Suppression Unit, Special Anti-Crime Unit and Central Division Task Force officers responded and moved in on the kidnappers, eventually catching up with them at an abandoned shack in central Trinidad.
In the shootout that followed, police killed three men. They have not yet identified them. Police said they recovered a .357 magnum with six rounds of ammunition and a home-made shotgun with three live cartridges and a spent shell.
