Baghdad - Dozens of Iraqi prisoners rioted against guards in the United States-run Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad and pelted them with stones, the American military said on Tuesday.

The incident started when one prisoner tried to escape under cover of darkness on Sunday night, aided by a violent sandstorm.

The escapee was recaptured by guards, the army said, "after which prisoners in various parts of the prison started to throw stones onto portable light generators and at prison guards".

A rapid response unit brought the situation under control. Four guards and six prisoners were slightly injured during the riot.

10. BULLETIN TO CORPORATE MEDIA- Move along now, nothing to see here

Another revealing story about how the corruption and torture of BushCo has driven people to desperation. Be sure to ignore it. The American people do not need to know that BushCo is torturing in the name of freedom.
