Guest guest Posted January 8, 2007 Report Share Posted January 8, 2007 Sunday, 7 January 2007, 17:48 GMT El Salvador jail rioters kill 21 Hundreds of police, soldiers and security guards were deployed At least 21 inmates have been killed in a riot at a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. Security forces have now regained control of the Apanteos jail, near Santa Ana, 66km (41 miles) west of the capital, San Salvador. The riot broke out on Friday when a member of the infamous Mara 18 gang began fighting a guard, sparking battles between hundreds of inmates. The jail holds 2,000 inmates, some of them the most dangerous in the country. Makeshift weapons Security sources described the scene in the jail as " horrible, a massacre " , human rights prosecutor Beatrice Alamanni told AFP news agency. " You can see feet and heads under rubble inside the cells, " she said. After the argument between the gang member and the guard, rival gang members began fighting among themselves with makeshift weapons such as shovels and pieces of broken masonry. Hundreds of police, soldiers and security guards were deployed to restore order and some inmates have been transferred to other jails. Prisons in Central America are often overcrowded - Apanteos was built to hold 1,800. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6238345.stm Dear List Members, Please note the conjunction of the Sun, L12, with combust Mercury, L1, both of them operational in dasha.
