The Taleban free a prison

The Taleban attacked a prison outside Kandahar freeing somewhere between 400-600 Taleban fighters. (1,100 escaped overall.)

The attack was "brazen,"

The complex attack late Friday included a truck bombing at the main gate, a suicide bomber who struck a back wall and rockets fired from inside the prison courtyard, setting off a series of explosions that rattled Kandahar, the country's second biggest city.

A Taliban spokesman, Qari Yousef Ahmadi, said 30 insurgents on motorbikes and two suicide bombers attacked Sarposa Prison and freed about 400 Taliban members.

They had minibuses come in to pick up the prisoners, and a Taleban spokesman is contacting all of the newswires to give their side of the story.
