The U.S. Defense Department says the attack, on May 18, was quelled with minimum force.


The unrest followed unsuccessful attempts by four inmates to kill themselves. Three took overdoses of prescription medicine, and the fourth tried to hang himself.


Some 460 terrorist suspects are being held at the Guantanamo detention center.
