SANTIAGO - A fire touched off by brawling inmates swept through a Chilean prison, killing 10 prisoners, officials said. A cooking stove overturned during the fight sparked the blaze on Sunday, according to Corrections Service director Alejandro Jimenez.
Two other prisoners were hospitalized with knife wounds, and a third suffered burns. "There has been no riot or jailbreak attempt," Jimenez said. "This situation started with a fight and ended with the fire."
