Explosions and anti-aircraft fire thundered in the skies above Bridgetown early Friday morning as Jamaica Defense Force attack helicopters bombed military installations of the Barbadian government.
<span style="font-size: 8pt">THE JDF NOW “RULES THE SKIES” OVER BARBADOS

In a brief statement made from Jamaica House, Prime Minister Bruce Golding said “The mistreatment of Caribbean visitors by Barbadian officials has long been an issue. Enough is enough. Regime change is our objective”. The operation dubbed “Your Worst Nightmare”, is meant "to deny the Stuart regime the opportunity of using force against our people," said a grim faced Golding as he left a meeting with his military advisors General Trees and Admiral Bailey. He will formally address the nation tonight at 8:00 pm.
A defiant Prime Minister Freundel Stuart said Barbados “will not sit back and take this undeserved act of naked aggression" and vowed that immigration and customs officers who now make up the bulk of the Barbadian armed forces will “take the fight to the Jamaicans”.
An eyewitness in Bridgetown who was not identified for security reasons reported seeing smoke rising from the direction of nearby Grantley Adams International Airport, the site of recent terrorist activities against Jamaican women. It has long been suspected that the airport was also being used as a military installation.
Earlier on Thursday night, ground forces from Up Park Camp in Kingston, landed on Silver Sands on the southern end of the island as the JDF air wing began reconnaissance overflights of "all Barbadian territory".
Meanwhile, three Jamaican journalists were detained in Sam Lord’s Castle in eastern Barbados. It was not immediately clear what charges, if any, they were being held on.
