Permalink Afghan Taliban set free 476 inmates

KABUL, April 25 (Xinhua) -- Taliban militants fighting Afghan and NATO-led troops surprisingly broke through to the fortified Kandahar prison and set free hundreds of inmates on Monday.

"Some 476 inmates made their escape from Kandahar jail early today," chief of Kandahar jail Ghulam Dastgir Mayar told Xinhua. "The prisoners using underground tunnel escaped from Kandahar prison and security forces have launched a huge search operation inside Kandahar City and some districts," Kandahar provincial administration said in a statement, adding that so far some escaped inmates have been rearrested.

Some 1,000 inmates were held in Kandahar jail, according to an official who declined to give his name. This was the fourth jailbreak in Kandahar prison over the past few years.
