Coordinated prison riots leave 31 inmates dead
The riots show the organisational power of Central America’s gangs, whose members communicate between prisons through cell phones and visitors, officials said.
The violence began with two grenade explosions at a makeshift prison for gang members, and apparently coordinated attacks at other prisons by Mara Salvatrucha gang members against the rival MS-18 gang, Interior Minister Carlos Vielmann said.
