Security Ministry spokesman Wilmer Torres says another eight inmates were wounded in the violent clash early Saturday.
Torres says 26 prisoners were attacked by their cellmates with knives and guns — just hours after they were transferred Friday night to a prison in San Pedro Sula, 110 miles (180 kilometers) north of the capital of Tegucigalpa. The prison was under control later Saturday.
Torres says police are investigating a motive for the attack.
