Former FIFA VP Warner makes televised address in Trinidad (The Associated Press)

MARABELLA, Trinidad (AP) -- Former FIFA vice president Jack Warner made a televised address in Trinidad on Wednesday night, saying he will prove a link between soccer's governing body and his nation's elections in 2010.

''I will no longer keep secrets for them who actively seek to destroy the country,'' Warner said.

Warner also said in the address, which was a paid political advertisement, that ''I reasonably actually fear for my life.''

Still, a half-hour after the speech aired, Warner appeared at his Independent Liberal Party's rally held under a canopy on a residential street. At least a couple hundred people were present when Warner spoke, many of them having not seen the televised remarks.
