Jail Blast Frees Hundreds Of Taliban
Updated:22:34, Friday June 13, 2008 Hundreds of Taliban militants have escaped from a prison in Kandahar, Afghanistan, after a co-ordinated suicide bomb and rocket attack tore through the jail's defences.
Nearly all of an estimated 1,150 prisoners fled when a Taliban suicide bomber blew open the main gate, officials said.
Eyewitnesses reported that the fighters fired several rockets at various parts of the mud-built prison.
"All the prisoners escaped. There is no one left," said Wali Karzai, the brother of President Hamid Karzai and the president of Kandahar's provincial council.
Militants first exploded a water tanker near the entrance to the gate of the prison, then several suicide bombers entered and blew themselves up, he added.
A shopkeeper who sells vegetables near the prison said he saw escaped prisoners run toward pomegranate and grape groves that lie behind it.

Odd???!!!! Nothing on any of my official FRWN sources on this.
“All the prisoners escaped. There is no one left,”
***Doesn’t smell right. There would be some dead, some wounded prisoners, guards blocking their way, that kind of thing.

“....guards blocking their way, that kind of thing.”
Apparently the guards had gotten complacent and concentrated in a guard-house near the front gate. Most, if not all, of the prison guards were killed by the truck bomb. I’m sure any survivors were quickly finished off.
Further proof that it should be exceeding difficult to achieve “prisoner status” on a battlefield involving Jihadists who surrender KNOWING their brothers will eventually forgive and release them...
Captured prisoners should be interrogated to determine innocence or guilt — execute the guilty and release the innocent..

You are what you eat. ;-)
I waited to hear NBC Brian Williams who was reporting from Afganistan say something about this. I heard nothing. It was all about Tim Russert.
“It was all about Tim Russert.”
Yeah, I can understand being a big name and all....but I would think they’d put a little bit more air time on 1500 scum who will now be coming back to kill us. I say any that are re-captured should be executed solely for their escape, whether they were supposed to be there or not.
That does it. Take no prisoners.
Good times..and..Good hunting in the weeks and few months to come.......It is easier to spin the truth than to hide al ie.....
Our new stance on prisoners should be
Infiltrate
Interrogate
Eradicate

Part of the problem is that some folks today can’t tell the difference between our founding fathers and the taliban. Those folks are called liberals, and they’ll get us all killed if we let them. The same folks who support the taliban while condemning the heroes of 1776, support murdering babies, the sick, the injured, and the elderly under the guise of “right to choose” and “right to die.” Make no mistake, they want us all dead, and they don’t much care how they do it.
Heh..good plan.
You surely won't find them at GITMO anymore ;-)
This was yesterday too....DAMMIT! Well, you’re right, no need for prison breaks anymore. Now they can just use US taxpayer dollars to appeal, and appeal, and appeal and appeal...until they blow up the court houses.
The dead guards were Christians?
Another good arguement for not taking prisoners. For any of you dip shits that want to argue about the enemy doing the same to our soldiers and Marines taken prisoner show me one American soldier captured by the taliban or Al Queda that has been teturned unharmed.
I doubt it.....but the former prisoners were captured in a war against the "occupation by Crusaders".. or so they say.
