Officials in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo Leon say three prisoners have been killed and 14 wounded inside the same prison where 49 died in a riot in February.

State general secretary Manuel Gonzales said late Wednesday that three prisoners died in another riot at the Topo Chico prison. The new incident comes just days before Gov. Jaime Rodriguez Calderon is scheduled to visit the prison.

The Feb. 11 riot between two factions of the Zetas cartel led to seizure of more than 200 weapons and the arrest of some of the prison's administrators.

Mexican Interior Secretary Miguel Osorio Chong said Thursday in an interview with Radio Formula that the previous incident showed there was no administration, but rather impunity and corruption.
