The Press Association: Forces battle wanted leader's gang: "More than 1,000 police and soldiers have raided a public housing complex in Jamaica occupied by heavily armed gangsters defending an alleged drug lord wanted by the US.
In a major offensive in the heart of West Kingston's ramshackle slums, security forces broke through barbed-wire barricades and fought their way into the warren-like Tivoli Gardens neighbourhood on Monday night.
Sporadic gunfire could be heard into the night echoing across the darkened slums, where authorities cut off power.
Masked gunmen have swarmed around West Kingston trying to prevent the extradition of Christopher 'Dudus' Coke, who has been indicted in New York on drug and arms trafficking charges. The US Justice Department considers him one of the world's most dangerous drug lords."
