Patterson". The hashish, weighing 227.7lbs, was found in three kegs wrapped with masking tape. It is believed to be worth $US5 million. </B></div> <div> <B>From early as 2:30 a.m. yesterday, detectives were busy combing Gordon Cay in search of contraband. Yesterday's ganja find is the largest since 1997 when 54,000 lbs of the drug were seized in a single drug bust, said Senior Superintendent Williams. </B></div> <div> <B>"This seizure is evidence of what is happening in the illicit drug traffic and the extent to which drug traffickers will go," he said. "This would represent a major investment [for the traffickers] and consequently a major blow [for Jamaica]," he said. </B></div> <div> <B>If the shipment had left the island and had been discovered in the U.S. it could have resulted in a number of major shipping lines pulling out of Jamaica, the Superintendent said. </B></div> <div> <B>"When you retail this," he said, pointing to one of the packages labelled 'P.J. Patterson', "you can get $US6,000 for it. That is why we are so happy about the bust because we know we have set back some guys out there." </B></div> <div> <B>Yesterday's big drug bust comes three days after the police discovered 2,727 kilograms of ganja at Kingston Wharves. The drug was found in two containers, in a number of packages labelled "Hand Tools" and "T-shirts" destined for companies in North Carolina and Minnesota. </B></div> <div> <B>The ganja was found aboard the vessel "Seaboard Marine" which had left Barbados and was destined for Miami. No one has been arrested in connection with the find. </B></div> <div> <B>(This ya news ya a news.......</B></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>It is a whole heap a people na go get no new nothin.</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#000000" FACE="Eurostile" ><B> </B></FONT></div> <div> <B>Things not looking good at`all fe some people.Them sey Forensic People them on them way.

The frantic pleas of the 'blood of Jesus!' did not deter the gunman from snuffing out the life of the 56-year-old woman. So now everyone is lying low. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The regular Monday evening prayer service was not held and no one from the Land Lease community where the makeshift church building is located can tell the whereabouts of Pastor Daley, who oversees the church. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>"Everybody did run. Even the pastor and his wife," said Blossom, a member of the Land Lease community who supports the church regularly. She, along with younger members of the community, spent most of Monday cleaning up the church and packing up the overturned chairs. "A lot of them even left them shoes. Is a whole heap a shoes did leave when the people them finish run," said Blossom. "We don't hear nothing from nobody and it don't look like anybody coming back again. The church probably haffi go lock down." </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The 'lockdown' is not really good news for the community. The months-old church was beginning to inspire residents in the area and many people were beginning to 'believe'. "Is a whole heap of people baptise here and mi see them pray for some people and them get work, so the church was doing something," said one young girl who did not wish to be identified. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>FELT BAD</B><B>: </B></div> <div> <B>A neighbour of the church said she felt bad that the murder took place in the church. She has strong faith in God, but still "gets nervous and panic easy". </B></div> <div> <B>The church is quiet now, the portable pulpit is neatly removed to the corner of the rostrum and the tambourines are stacked away. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>Ms. Grant's daughter, Cre-cenia Campbell, who is a Christian, said she was leaving the act in the hands of the Lord. "The Bible says leave all vengeance to the Lord. All I can say to that person is to repent." </B></div> <div> <B>The police reported that the shooting of Ms. Grant took place about 9:00 p.m. on Sunday. An elder reportedly got shot on the finger. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The gunman reportedly walked to the side of the church as if he was going to the altar then made a sudden turn, grabbed Ms. Grant and shot her in the mouth. The church members intervened with a 'blood of Jesus' chant and the gunman walked out but quickly returned and pumped two more bullets into Ms. Grant before walking away from the scene. </B></div> <bR> <div> <B>The Question that many are asking:</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>Is people business she was in? </B></div> <div> <B>Ms. Ena should a know sey' that the blood of Jesus cannot help hypocrite sinner like herself. </B></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>My Reply:</B><B> </B></div> <div> <B>So now she knew sey, play church while minding other people's business dont mix. See, i have a beef with people like them. I am their living experience.</B></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
