This can’t be good.
The Governor of Kandahar, Tooryali Wisa, confirmed he’d been notified at four o’clock on Monday morning that “around 487 Taliban prisoners had escaped from the prison”.
A Taliban spokesman claimed that insurgents outside Sarposa had dug the 1,050-foot (320-meter) tunnel over a five month period.
The most dangerous Taliban commanders would not have been kept at the prison, they are usually transferred to a facility outside of Bagram Air Base in eastern Afghanistan or held in a special high-security wing of the main prison in Kabul.
Waheed Omer, spokesman for the Afghan president, said: “This (prison escape) is very bad news for the government and people of Afghanistan, it shows a big vulnerability of the government.”
Ya think? 1000 inmates broke out of that same prison in 08. SMH
