Two officers and fifteen men were imprisoned in a cell at the post office. Some bombs were placed outside ' the door. The prisoners asked if they must be left to burn like rats in a trap. The rebels opened a side door, liberating them in the street, but fired a volley, killing two of the hostages and wounding a lieutenant.
