"About 60 inmates were killed in a prison riot in northern Brazil that ended early Monday, one of the bloodiest disasters ever in the country’s crowded penitentiary system, officials said.
The prison brawl began Sunday in the Amazonian city of Manaus and flared into a gruesome nightlong battle, with several inmates decapitated and the bodies of others burned, officials said.
The riot was sparked by a clash between two gangs in the prison and reflects shifting allegiances among Brazil’s powerful narco-trafficking groups, authorities said.
Sergio Fontes, the head of security in Amazonas state, said that a local gang, aided by former inmates out on parole, smuggled guns into the prison and took 74 prisoners and 12 guards hostage.”*
