Tegucigalpa - A short-circuit at a jail in northern Honduras killed at least 90 inmates and injured more than a dozen others before dawn Monday, the country's vice-minister of security said.

Armando Calidonio said the fire was caused by a short circuit, and consumed the jail as the inmates slept. It was the second major jail fire in Honduras in a little over a year.

1. Honduras Prison Fire Toll Climbs

 A fire sparked by a short-circuit killed 102 inmates and injured more than two dozen others in a prison in northern Honduras early Monday, Honduran security officials said. It was the second major jail fire in the country in a little more than a year.

The short-circuit apparently occurred when a refrigerator motor overheated in a cell block housing 186 gang members, Police Commissioner Wilmer Torres said. Some prisoners were burned to death while others died from smoke inhalation. There were no reports of any escapes, Torres said.

Many of the gang members were detained during the country's recent crackdown on gang violence. Most of the inmates were asleep at the time of the fire. "The bodies have been counted," Vice Security Minister Armando Calidonio said, adding: "The situation is serious."

Take a look at the CBS pic of a hundred dead human beings. Why is it OK to show these dead but the US Whore Media won't show dead Americans or dead Iraqis in Iraq?
