A rebellion in a prison in the northern Mexican city of Matamoros left two people dead and 36 injured, officials said Thursday.

The revolt, which broke out late Wednesday and lasted until early Thursday, was put down by federal police and the armed forces. No information was available about the cause of the riot, but the country's crowded prisons are often the sites of revolts that result in deaths or injuries, dpa reported.
