GEORGETOWN, Guyana — Former New York Police Department Commissioner Bernard Kerik has apparently postponed plans to work as a security consultant for two Caribbean countries because of unresolved legal troubles, Guyana's interior minister said Wednesday.

Kerik was expected to begin a one-year contract as Guyana's national security adviser in February. He was also hired as a consultant by Trinidad, although it was unclear when that job would begin.

But Guyanese Interior Minister Clement Rohee said that Kerik sent a statement to Trinidadian authorities saying he could not travel while U.S. prosecutors were investigating him.

Kerik has not notified Guyana, Rohee said. He would not disclose further details.

Yankees Using Firm With Alleged Mob Ties To Help Build New Stadium

UPDATED: 2:05 am EDT April 5, 2007

NEW YORK -- A construction firm accused of having mob ties is helping build the new Yankee Stadium, officials said.

And its owners are under indictment in the Bronx in connection with former New York City police Commissioner Bernard Kerik's legal issues.

Interstate Industrial's owners Frank and Peter DiTommaso -- accused of having ties to the mafia -- were indicted in July on perjury charges.

In an interview Wednesday, the company's owners insisted they will be cleared of criminal wrongdoing, and that their company, Interstate Industrial, is not linked to the Gambino Crime Family.

But investigators said they had banned Interstate from public contracts in New York City and Atlantic City.

The brothers are accused of lying to a Bronx grand jury about $165,000 in free construction work given to Bernard Kerik, Rudy Giuliani's former correction and police commissioner.
