Guatemala City- Eight inmates at Guatemala's main prison were killed on Monday when a 1,500-strong joint police and army force stormed the facility in an attempt to take back the prison from the gangs that largely controlled it. Guatemalan authorities said the jail in the town of Fraijanes, around 30 kilometres east of Guatemala City, was controlled by gangs that had set up drug-processing plants within the premises. Local media in the Central American country reported that gang bosses, with the help of corrupt anti-narcotics agents, processed cocaine there and sold the drug both inside and outside the prison.© 2006 DPA - Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa
