At least 11 people died in the Jamaican capital, Kingston, when troops stormed the stronghold of an alleged drug lord, Jamaican officials said.
Gunfire erupted as troops and police moved into the Tivoli Gardens district to search for Christopher "Dudus" Coke, who is wanted by the United States.
A state of emergency has been in place in parts of Kingston since Friday, when several police stations were attacked.
The decision to extradite him has angered his supporters.
Mr Coke, who insists he is a legitimate businessman, enjoys the support of many impoverished Kingston residents who see him as a benefactor and have vowed to protect him at any cost.
But the US justice department accuses him of being one of the world's most dangerous drug barons. Link
