Fighting erupted at a prison about 25 kilometers north of the capital Tegucigalpa on Tuesday when members of the Barrio 18 gang burst into an area housing the rival Mara Salvatrucha group, shot at them, and set the place on fire, according to authorities and witnesses.Twenty-six victims had been identified through fingerprints and dental records, said Issa Alvarado, a spokeswoman for the Forensic Medicine Directorate.
She dismissed security minister Ramon Sabillon and replaced him with National Police chief Gustavo Sanchez.
