Mass prison break from the jail in Kandahar in South-Afghanistan

Bill Van Auken wrote an article for the WSWS about the prisoners who escaped from the prison in the city Kandahar: “Afghanistan: Mass prison break underscores crisis of US-backed regime."

“Large numbers of US-led NATO troops together with Afghan puppet forces continued a largely fruitless search over the weekend for more than 1,000 prisoners who escaped from a fortress-like jail in the southern city of Kandahar.”
