41 Taliban Escape From Afghanistan Jail

[Spazito]

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - Authorities were searching for more than 40 Taliban prisoners — including several commanders — who escaped from a high-security prison in southern Afghanistan by digging a tunnel, a provincial governor and two other government officials said Saturday.


Several former Taliban commanders and the brother of former Taliban defense minister Mullah Ubaidullah were among the escaped convicts who disappeared without detection late Friday from a prison in Kandahar, said Yousaf Pashtoon, the governor.


"This is a very serious incident," he said, adding that a province-wide search has been launched for the prisoners.


Kandahar is the stronghold of Afghanistan's former hardline Muslim Taliban regime.
