From: "Stasi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Peoples War] Colombia: 5 Prison Inmates Die In Prison Violence - Ananova Ananova : Five inmates die in Colombia prison violence ============================== A gunbattle among imprisoned right-wing Colombian paramilitary members has left five prisoners dead Friday in a Bogota jail. Officials are investigating how inmates at La Modelo jail obtained guns. It is unclear what started the battle. Fighting broke out about 10am and authorities had the situation under control by 11am, according to the national prison authority. Further details were not immediately available. Fights and riots are common in Colombia's overcrowded prisons, which house an explosive mix of inmates - drug traffickers, left-wing rebels, and members of the right-wing paramilitary groups. In April, another confrontation broke out in La Modelo jail, this one between rebels, paramilitaries and common criminals. Ten prisoners were killed in that violence and more than 20 injured.
