Dozens Wounded in Jordanian Prison Riots

(IsraelNN.com) A riot erupted Tuesday at the Swaqa Penitentiary in the Hashemite Kingdom, 10 miles south of Amman, following similar chaos in a jail elsewhere in the Jordanian prison system a day earlier.

Prisoners were protesting the segregation of al Qaeda terrorists from other inmates. Three prisoners were killed in rioting in a different prison Monday.

Jordanian police spokesman Major Mohammed al-Khatib said dozens of prisoners suffered minor injures and smoke inhalation in Tuesday’s rioting.
