BAGHDAD, Iraq — U.S. military police shot and killed two detainees and wounded five others in an effort to put down a massive brawl that broke out Wednesday at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison facility west of the Iraqi capital, the military said.

Troubles began when several detainees attacked another inmate with rocks and tent poles in a fight that quickly escalated, drawing in 200 inmates at a tented detention camp within the sprawling compound, said Lt. Col. Barry Johnson, the U.S. military’s spokesman for detention operations in Iraq.

Detainees hurled rocks at U.S. soldiers, ignoring “verbal warnings” and then a volley of rubber bullets from U.S. military police, Johnson said.
