2 Cops Die in Jamaica Drug-Dealer Showdown

Two policemen were killed and six injured last night in the violent showdown between Jamaican police and supporters of drug lord Christopher "Dudus" Coke, who are holed up in a barricaded section of Kingston. The cops were fired on as they responded to a call for help from a female motorist, reports the BBC. A state of emergency has been declared as supporters take to the streets, protesting the Jamaican prime minister's decision to allow Coke to be extradited to the US on drugs and weapons trafficking charges.
