Hurricane Ivan smashes into Grenada

The most powerful hurricane to hit the Caribbean in a decade killed at least 15 people and devastated Grenada, damaging 90% of homes in the ”spice isle” and destroying a 17th-century prison that left criminals on the loose.

Some escaped convicts included politicians jailed for 20 years for killings in a 1983 left-wing palace coup that led the United States to invade.
