Mexico prison fight leaves 44 dead
A fight between rival gangs at a prison on the outskirts of the northern Mexican manufacturing city of Monterrey left at least 44 dead on Sunday, authorities said. Victims were beaten, knifed and stoned when a fight broke out early on Sunday, the officials said.
Inmates at the prison in Monterrey, about 140 miles (225 km) from the border with Texas, include members of Mexico's Gulf cartel as well as the feared Zetas cartel. Authorities could not confirm if the fight was between those two groups. (Reuters)
