Jamaican police storm gangster’s complex - The Boston Globe: "Security forces fought their way into the warren-like complex that is the slum stronghold of a Jamaican gang leader facing extradition to the United States and sporadic gunfire could be heard late into last night.
More than 1,000 police officers and soldiers attacked heavily armed gang members defending the West Kingston base of Christopher “Dudus’’ Coke, who has been indicted in the United States on drug and arms trafficking charges. Military helicopters flying with their lights off could be heard buzzing above the darkened slums, where authorities cut off power.
As security forces broke through barbed-wire barricades yesterday to begin their offensive in Coke’s Tivoli Garden neighborhood, clashes with masked gunmen spread to other volatile slums close to the capital on Jamaica’s southeastern coast, far from the tourist resorts on the north shore."
