An al-Qaeda jail gang sparked a brutal riot at Britain's toughest prison after claiming an inmate insulted one of them.
The Muslim Boys mob armed themselves with socks packed with tinned food as they ambushed rival prisoners in a fearsome revenge attack.
All warders on duty were scrambled into action but it took 10 minutes to quell the violence.
An insider at Belmarsh prison, South East London, revealed: "They attacked a group of non-Muslim prisoners at meal time.
"It was brutal and all hell broke lose. One of them was verbally abused and the fight is thought to have been retaliation.
"They have no qualms about using violence to exert their authority."
Belmarsh staff have grown furious at what they see as bosses' soft approach to the gang.
Last year, they battered four officers with pool cues in a riot. And three officers were attacked during a separate incident.
