Jamaica declared a state of emergency for two areas after two parishes were attacked and one set on fire. Gunman opened up fire on to police stations because of talk that Dudas Coke was going to be sent to the U.S. after killing hundreds of people in the big Cocaine Wars of the 80's. This is the 3rd time this has, happened the ones before were cancelled because of Cokes support of the government in charge. The people of Jamaica are outraged by this claim because he is a favorite of the people there. Because of this violence the U.S. Department of State have issue a travelers warning in two areas because of a chance of dangerous activity.
