Guantanamo Prison Guards, Inmates Clash
15 minutes ago
Prisoners wielding improvised weapons clashed with guards trying to stop a detainee from committing suicide at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the military said Friday.
The fight occurred Thursday in a medium-security section of the camp as guards were responding to the fourth attempted suicide that day at the detention center on the U.S. Navy base, said Cmdr. Robert Durand.
Detainees used fans, light fixtures and other improvised weapons to attack the guards as they entered a communal living area to stop a prisoner who was trying to hang himself, Durand said.
Earlier in the day, three detainees in another part of the prison attempted suicide by swallowing prescription medicine they had been hoarding.
The detainees who took part in the clash with guards were moved to higher-security sections.
Those who attempted suicide received medical treatment, the military said. Their names were not released.

Make 'em sit in time out.
They were just called home by Mad Moe...honor their religious zeal and let them go.
No big deal. Check out Michelle Malkin. Our guys were intervening to prevent an inmate trying to hang himself, and he and his cellmates resisted. Screw 'em.
They want to kill us ALL!.....We should return the favor........
Muzzies.... can't even commit suicide successfully, unless they have a bomb to strap onto themselves.
A night in the box!
Too bad we were successful in stopping them...
Pardon me for asking, but... why would our guys risk injury to try to stop one of those scum from offing himself???
How about if we just GAVE them some rope if they asked for it?
And the U.N. thinks we should close that prison.....
Yeah...in the shark-infested waters outside the prison.
I doubt that even the sharks would want to eat these vile creatures.
