Taliban prisoners escape à la the Great Escape

May 16-31, 2011

Close to 500 Taliban prisoners recently escaped from Kandahar prison in southern Afghanistan through a tunnel hundreds of metres long. “A tunnel hundreds of metres long was dug from the south of the prison into the prison and 476 political prisoners of which 106 were Taliban commanders escaped last night,” said Prison Director General Ghulam Dastageer Mayar.

The jail break is the second major escape in three years to hit Kandahar prison. In 2008, around 1,000 prisoners including Taliban militants escaped after the Taliban used a truck bomb to blow open the gates.
