Police storm 'reggae ghettos' in hunt for underworld boss

Thousands of police and soldiers stormed the Jamaican ghettos where reggae was born in search of a reputed drug kingpin wanted by the United States, intensifying a third day of street battles that have killed at least 30 people.

The masked gunmen fighting for underworld boss Christopher “Dudus” Coke say he provides services and protection – all funded by a criminal empire that seemed untouchable until the US demanded his extradition.
