巴拿馬首都巴拿馬城一座監獄內昨日爆發激烈槍戰，當局證實最少有12名囚犯被殺，另有10多人受傷。

發生衝突的地點，是監獄內一個用來囚禁一個幫會成員的囚室。警方正調查是甚麼原因觸發囚犯之間進行大廝殺。事件中，沒有獄警被殺，也沒有其他囚犯趁機越獄。警方人員進入監獄內調查，搜獲5支手槍和3支步槍，相信是有人利用不法途徑把軍火偷運入監獄內。助理警察總長梅諾斯說，在巴拿馬的監獄，此類走私軍火活動是長期存在的問題。不法之徒有許多方法偷運武器。

At least 13 inmates were killed and 15 injured in a shoot-out in a prison in Panama on Tuesday.

Officials said they found three AK-47 assault rifles and five pistols.

President Laurentino Cortizo said an investigation would be launched into how the guns got into La Joyita jail east of the capital, Panama City.

"These firearms didn't fall out of the sky, there was obviously some type of cooperation there for firearms to be brought in," he said.

President Cortizo said he would meet his security council on Wednesday to discuss how to put a stop to guns being smuggled into jails.

"It's something we have to put a stop to. A few weeks ago a search was carried out [in the prison] and arms were found, and now again, so someone is letting these guns in," he said.

The shooting started at 14:00 local time (19:00 GMT) in cell block 14. Prison officials said that inmates are housed in blocks according to their gang affiliation.

Panama tackles gangs with carrot-and-stick approach

The assistant director of Panama's National Police, Alexis Muñoz, said that the shoot-out was between members of the same gang who had "an internal disagreement".

While La Joyita is notorious for overcrowding, this is among the deadliest recorded prison fights in the Central American country.

No prisoners escaped during the fight, officials said.
