Prison mutiny leaves 13 dead

A PRISON mutiny in a former Soviet labour camp left 13 people dead after Azerbaijani forces ended a riot. At least two men died in the revolt, at Gobustan, 40 miles from the capital, Baku. They had been jailed for their part in a coup attempt against President Gaidar Aliyev.
