Bloodshed in Jamaica over Druglord
May 26, 2010



Jamaican authorities declared a state of emergency in Kingston after gang members supportive of alleged drug lord, Christopher "Dudus" Coke, wanted by the United States attacked police stations and blockaded a large swath of the city.

Two police stations were evacuated after being hit with Molotov cocktails, while the status of a third was unclear.

Gang members blocked off a miles-long area of Jamaica's capital city -- mostly in West Kingston -- using vehicles, sandbags, barbed wire and anything else they could find.
