10 Days after the arrest warrant was signed for Jamaican Don, Chris Coke known as DUDUS he has still not been captured by Jamaican law enforcement. However, the upheaval in Jamaica has caused the death of more than 70 people and at one point 500 had been arrested. Most of them have been released, but the fact is that Dudus is nowhere to be found. Now CBS News in the United states has reported that he may be headed to Belize. Here's that report.

Tivoli Gardens in Kingston Jamaica, a neighborhood still consumed in violence. For the last week, Jamaican Security Forces have been battling armed rebels who support this man, 40 year old accused drug kingpin Christopher Coke who investigators say runs the "Shower Posse" an international cartel with operations in several American cities including New York. But according to an internal intelligence document obtained by CBS News Coke and his cohorts, using fishing boats and small planes "may attempt to flee the violence and enter the United States illegally to fight another day and control Jamaican criminal activity in the United States." The document also states Coke and his crew may attempt to go through Belize in Central America in order to sneak into the US and settle down in one of several major cities with established Jamaican criminal networks."

"Coke who goes by the aliases 'Dudus', 'Shortman', and President is regarded by justice officials as one of the world's dangerous drug lords. He is already the subject of a federal indictment and has a long history of operating with the kind of freedom that comes with cozy political connections."
Jay Dow
"Those connections to Jamaica's Labour Party date back to the time when Coke's father held the title of 'Don' in Jamaica's mafia. He dies in a fire while in police custody."

"Jamiacan police are known to be very brutal. He knows that perhaps they would want to kill him."
Jay Dow
"Back in Tivoli families are still mourning and in some cases trying to find their loved ones. So far over 70 people had died many of them civilians caught in the cross fire."
Jamaican police say they have stepped up efforts to capture Dudus - who they say is still on the island.
