Taliban tunnel inmates and terrorists out of Kandahar jail

Nearly 500 prisoners were spirited out of the main jail in Kandahar, Afghanistan, overnight, through a 320-metre tunnel that the Taliban claims it secretly created over a five-month period.
The jailbreak of about 480 mostly Taliban prisoners comes after the 1,200-inmate Sarposa Prison had undergone a series of security upgrades and heightened procedures following a suicide bomb attack in 2008. That incident freed 900 inmates.
