JAMAICA, CANADA FIGHT DRUGS

KINGSTON, Jamaica - Canada and Jamaica have agreed to share
money made from selling drug dealers' cars, homes and other assets as
part of a new legal assistance pact.

Under the agreement, the two countries will also help each other
locate and identify suspects, providing records and search warrants,
the Jamaican government said Monday.

Raymond Wolfe, Jamaica's high commissioner to Canada, and Gavin
Stewart, his Canadian counterpart in Kingston, signed the agreements
in Ottawa last week during Prime Minister P.J. Patterson's visit to
Canada.

Jamaica signed a similar legal assistance agreement with the United
States several years ago.

Patterson has since travelled on to Europe, where he met Monday with
representatives of the Caribbean Advisory Group in London and pledged
to work with the body on new educational programs.

The group was appointed by British Prime Minister Tony Blair to advise
his government on Caribbean issues.
