Six Die in Weekend Prison Riots at Georgia and Illinois
Six inmates and guards died as riots erupted at two prisons Sursday weekend. In Georgia at Reidsville's southeastern state facility racial tensions and overcrowding fueled unrest with two inmate deaths and about 30 injured. In Illinois at Pontiac Correctional Center trash and chaos spread across the yard while authorities worked to regain control. A U.S. judge had ordered racial segregation earlier that month to ease tensions, and prison officials said the Sunday disturbance appeared planned as it occurred in two adjacent wings during dinner escort.

Syrian-Christian warfare subsides into uneasy lull in Beirut
In Beirut the latest clash between Syrian and Christian factions eased to a faint lull at dawn after nearly 36 hours of fighting. Nine Christians killed and 62 wounded in 48 hours. Traffic between the Christian and Muslim halves of the city resumed cautiously as the Hadass district remained shattered. Fires in pine woods near the presidential palace and the U.S. ambassador’s residence were quickly put out without damage to the palace or mansion. Military reports claimed mortars from concealed positions and unprovoked fire from Christians, while Christian spokesmen argued the Syrians fomented clashes on flimsy pretexts.
