Guantanamo inmates ambush guards

Inmates at the United States detention centre at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba have attacked guards after luring them with a staged suicide attempt. According to a military spokesperson the detainees used weapons crafted from fans and light fixtures. The disturbance was reportedly quelled with minimum force. Six inmates were hurt in the clash. The latest incident coincides with a United Nations call on the US to close down the camp. The UN Committee against Torture said the US should release detainees or give them access to a judicial process. About 460 detainees are held at Guantanamo, which opened after the US-led invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.
