Jamaica Arrests Alleged Drug Lord
---------------------------------



Jamaican authorities have arrested the alleged drug lord Christopher
Coke after a manhunt that left dozens of people dead last month. Coke
surrendered on Tuesday, nearly one month after at least seventy-six
people died when Jamaican forces launched an assault on a poor
neighborhood loyal to Coke. The US is seeking Coke’s extradition on
drugs and drug-running charges.
