At least 32 inmates are dead following an alleged riot in an Argentine prison. Prison authorities in Magdalen, located 45 miles southeast of Buenos Aires, say a prison feud led to a fire that caused the inmates to lose their lives to asphyxiation. Buenos Aires Justice Minister Eduardo Di Rocco rejected initial reports a demand for more visiting hours for relatives led up to the incident. Two jailers, including the warden, were seriously injured, he said.
