13 inmates killed in Honduran prison riot

At least 13 inmates were killed and another 30 wounded in a shootout between rival groups inside Honduras’ biggest prison, the latest bloodshed to hit the country’s overcrowded and ageing jails.

The clash today came inside a cell block housing 400 of the most dangerous prisoners doing time at the National Penitentiary in Tegucigalpa, where least 27 inmates were murdered in 2005, most by their cellmates.
