Jamaica ? All but a handful of the roughly 980 Jamaicans detained during raids by security forces in gang-heavy Kingston slums have been released, police said Saturday.

Detainees had been held at the Kingston’s National Arena, where dozens of concerned relatives had congregated outside a security gate in recent days, holding up pictures of their sons. On Saturday, the stadium was empty and police said 10 suspects were still being held elsewhere.

Hundreds of heavily armed troops, meanwhile, occupied the bullet-pocked Tivoli Gardens complex on Saturday following a bloody, four-day assault of the slum stronghold of reputed underworld boss Christopher “Dudus” Coke, who is wanted in the United States on drug and gun-trafficking charges.

Coke was nowhere to be found, but Jamaica’s top cop insisted that security forces will capture him and that their “best intelligence” indicates he is hiding somewhere on this tropical island.
