Prison Riot at Abu Graib

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".
