Terrorism in Jamaica
Terrorism in Jamaica is not a serious threat to the security of the state.
Despite this, terrorism has occurred in Jamaica's past, such as during the CanJet Flight 918 hijacking, in which a Jamaican gunman tried to take over a passenger plane heading from Jamaica to Cuba (where they would then proceed to Halifax).[1][2]

The Jamaican government signed the International Convention for the Suppression of the Financing of Terrorism on 10 November 2001.[4]
The Parliament of Jamaica passed the Terrorism Prevention Act on 8 April 2005 amid strong opposition from the minority Jamaica Labour Party and civic organizations.[5]
