Scores killed in Venezuela jail blaze


Families of about 68 people, mostly prisoners, who were killed in a devastating prison fire in Venezuela gathered outside the scene at a police station Thursday to demand answers, as opposition lawmakers vowed to investigate the tragedy, witnesses said.
A fire ripped through the detention center of the police headquarters Wednesday morning as families waited outside for visiting hours to begin. As the flames engulfed the jail, frantic families clashed with police and had to be driven back with tear gas.
