"Militants have attacked the main prison in the southern Afghan city of Kandahar with a car bomb and rockets, killing an unspecified number of police officers and setting prisoners free, Afghan officials said Friday.

A car bombing outside the prison's gate happened around 10 p.m. local time and killed all police officers in the vicinity, several sources said.

There were no immediate details on how many prisoners might have escaped from the Sarposa prison, said Justice Minister Sarwar Danish.

The prison, the largest detention facility in Kandahar province, housed both common criminals and captured Taliban militants who had been fighting NATO troops and the Afghan government."
