At least 60 people have died in Jamaica in a battle between police and a drug gang after police stormed the stronghold of a powerful druglord wanted by the U.S.

Thousands of police assaulted the Kingston council estate occupied by heavily armed gangsters as a three-day slum standoff over Christopher 'Dudus' Coke exploded into violence.

Hospital sources told the AFP news agency that at least 60 people had died in the fighting.

Yeah, this isn't gon' be good for da tourism, mon.

It's all in Kingston. I wouldn't go to Kingston even when there's not gang wars happening. One of my students (African American) was supposed to go to Kingston in a few weeks for some missionary work. She had no idea that it might be a dangerous place. :spock:

Go to Grand Cayman instead.

Great name for a drug lord though. +1 rep for his mom.

Greece vacations have dropped in prices for anyone interested.

Jamaking me crazy with these low ticket prices...

Sandals has a place in Turks and Caicos, and I've wanted to visit Grand Cayman.

Before the baby we would go to Jamaica every year - love it. You just NEVER leave the resort, and you pray the bus doesn't breakdown on the ride from the airport.

Indeed. We took a bus ride from Montego Bay to Negril, and that very thought may have crossed my alcohol hazed brain.

I like the countryside. Once you get away from the tourist traps, the people aren't nearly as annoying and pushy... because they don't depend on tourist dollars for survival. We've stayed in Treasure Beach, and we loved it. Quaint fishing village with very nice people.

The forums on this site are also a wealth of information:

You can leave the resorts with a trusted/reputable driver.
