PRISONERS seized at least 10 security guards as hostages during a riot in a Lebanese prison yesterday, a police source said.
"The prisoners on the second floor are burning mattresses and are holding about 10 guards hostage," the source said, requesting anonymity as he was not authorised to speak to media. He said prisoners had timed the riot to coincide with Pope Benedict's three-day visit to Beirut to draw attention to their demands.
