Fire at prison in Iraqi capital kills 6 inmates (AP)

BAGHDAD ? Police say an early morning fire at a prison in Iraq's capital has killed six inmates.

Two police officers say at least 26 other inmates have been treated for smoke inhalation and other injuries from Monday's blaze.

Medics at Kindi and Ibin Nafees hospitals confirmed the casualties. All spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.

It was not immediately clear what caused the fire at an Interior Ministry prison in Baladiyat, a mostly Shiite neighborhood in eastern Baghdad.

It took firefighters about an hour to extinguish the blaze.
