About This Investigation

Trinidad and Tobago holds the grim distinction of being the largest per capita exporter of fighters to the Islamic State in the Western Hemisphere — with between 125 and 240+ Trinidadians traveling to Syria between 2013 and 2016. The Jamaat al-Muslimeen (JAM), founded in 1982 by Yasin Abu Bakr and best known for the 1990 parliamentary coup attempt, served as the organizational incubator of the networks that eventually produced this pipeline. Through OSINT research, ODINT has mapped the JAM's current digital footprint, its institutional network on social media, and the structural continuity that links the original organization to contemporary extremist dynamics in the Caribbean.
