More bad news from Jamaica...
Two Catholic priests were gunned down while visiting Jamaica in October. Reports said that the two missionaries were killed after they had seen a crime being committed days earlier.
On a related note, the country plans to augment the police force by 30 % to address the surge of murders and crime in recent years, attributed mainly to the drug trade.

From an October 23 article in The Sunday Times online:
More than 1,400 people have been murdered in Jamaica so far this year, making the One Love nation statistically more dangerous than Iraqi hot spots Mosul and Basra.
