One Order and Clansman gangs clash army sent in
Jamaica is deploying soldiers to two neighborhoods where gang violence has driven roughly 200 residents from their homes.Prime Minister Bruce Golding says the government will continue to step up police and military operations in the Gravel Heights and Tredegar Park neighborhoods near the capital, Kingston.Monsignor Richard Albert says an unknown number of soldiers arrived Saturday and occupied some of the roughly 100 abandoned homes.Residents of both neighborhoods had fled with their belongings in early December, blaming clashes between the One Order and Clansman gangs.Police have arrested more than 100 people and scores of residents have already returned.Gang takeovers of poor Jamaican communities are fairly common.
