Guantanamo guards and detainees clash

Prisoners wielding improvised weapons clashed with guards trying to stop a detainee from committing suicide at the US prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the US military said today.

The fight occurred yesterday in a medium-security section of the camp as guards were responding to the fourth attempted suicide that day at the detention centre on the US Navy base, Navy Cmdr Robert Durand said.
