A blaze swept through some wards of a Mexican jail killing 14 inmates on Friday, dpa quoted officials in Nuevo Leon state as saying. The northern state's public security minister, Jorge Domene, said the fire at the Apodaca jail was apparently caused by a short circuit and started in the psychiatric ward, which had close to 60 inmates. The jail is located in the metropolitan area of Monterrey, Mexico's third-largest city.
