AL-RAS — Prison authorities in Qassim were able to control the chaos caused by 14 prisoners who set fire to their cells and injured a security guard after hitting him on the head. The Prison Directorate's acting spokesman Maj. Gen. Abdullah Al-Harbi said the prisoners, involved in drugs cases, set fire to their cells and started causing trouble for no particular reason. None of the prisoners was injured, while all those responsible were transferred to different prisons, where they are expected to appear before court to be held responsible for their actions.
