A fire in Haiti's largest prison raises tension amid negotiations to create a transitional council. Videos of the incident show a huge column of smoke rising over the prison.

A couple of weeks ago, the coordinated attack by dozens of criminal gangs, which dominate a good part of the capital, allowed the escape of most of its prisoners, who numbered just over 3,500. The origin of the fire is unknown at the moment, if it had to do with some type of new attack, or if it is, instead, a consequence of the first.
