Prison Fire Kills 272 in Honduras 
----------------------------------



A prison fire in Honduras has killed at least 272 inmates, many of whom
burned to death in their cells. The deaths were blamed on the absence of
a guard who had the cell keys. The fire erupted Tuesday night at a
prison about 90 miles north of the capital, Tegucigalpa.
