Taliban break Paktia prison, frees seven
On Sunday night at 8:30 pm, seven prisoners succeeded to break the bars of the mosque’s windows, climb the prison’s wall using pieces of clothes, go through the barbed wires and escape the prison.
An investigation has been underway to find out whether the fugitives had enjoyed any insider or outsider aid to have helped them flee.
The jailer of the prison, Colonel Mohammad Ajmal, says that three of the fugitives were Taliban. However, in a statement, the Taliban have claimed all seven as their own.
On the other hand, the Taliban spokesperson, Zabihullah Mujahid, tweeted that seven of their men had made a foolproof plan and broke out of the Paktia prison on Sunday evening, safe and sound.
