A fire in a youth jail in El Salvador killed 22 people and injured 23 more, police spokeswoman Violeta Polanca said on Wednesday. The 23 injured were taken to a nearby hospital, she said. The fire began at 6:00 a.m. local time (1200 GMT) in a youth rehabilitation center near Ilobasco, some 70 kilometers to San Salvador, the country's capital. The causes of the fire were still being investigated, but according to some sources it could have occurred due to a short circuit.
