Earthquake
Sep 29, 2006
A strong earthquake, measuring 6.1 on the Richter Scale, shook Trinidad today.
It happened just after nine this morning at a depth of 38 miles, with
the epicenter identified as being off the northern coast of Trinidad.
A quake of such a magnitude typically can cause considerable damage to
poorly-built structures, and slight to moderate damage in well built
ones.
So far, we know that the extent of the damage was limited to cracks in
some buildings and broken glass from businesses in the city.
No deaths nor injuries were immediately reported.
The Hilton Hotel in Port of Spain was affected and its telephone lines left out of order.

Released by the US Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
This
report is submitted to the Congress by the Department of State in
compliance with Section 102(b) of the International Religious Freedom
Act (IRFA) of 1998. The law provides that the secretary of state, with
the assistance of the ambassador at large for international religious
freedom, shall transmit to Congress "an Annual Report on International
Religious Freedom supplementing the most recent Human Rights Reports by
providing additional detailed information with respect to matters
involving international religious freedom."
Grenada: The constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respected this right in practice.
There
was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the
period covered by this report, and government policy continued to
contribute to the generally free practice of religion.
