To be fore warned is to be fore armed!! UNC OPERATIVES LAUNCH FULL-SCALE ATTACK … ROWLEY, THE TARGET AUGUST 27, 2014 WITH the 2015 General Elections one year away, the People’s Partnership (PP) is pulling out all stops, targeting Opposition Leader Dr. Keith Rowley, according to political intelligence.
