No British support to invade Grenada
Aug 02, 2013
LONDON, CMC – Britain had been against United States plans to invade Grenada in 1983, according to documents released Thursday by the National Archives here. The documents indicate that then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and United States president Ronald Reagan were at odds over the plans to invade the Caribbean island after its then left wing leader, Maurice Bishop and several of his ministers were executed by sections of the People’s Revolutionary Government (PRG) headed by then deputy leader, Bernard Coard. Coard and several others, including his wife, Phyllis, were sentenced to lengthy jails terms but were all released a few years ago under new sentencing procedures.
