MSNBC - Guantanamo prisoners attempted mass suicide: "Between Aug. 18 and Aug. 26, the 23 detainees tried to hang or strangle themselves with pieces of clothing and other items in their cells, demonstrating 'self-injurious behavior,' the U.S. Southern Command in Miami said in a statement. Ten detainees made a mass attempt on Aug. 22 alone.
U.S. Southern Command described it as 'a coordinated effort to disrupt camp operations and challenge a new group of security guards from the just-completed unit rotation.'"
