Taliban attack Pakistan prison, free 380 prisoners
None
Taliban militants attacked a prison in northwest Pakistan on Sunday, freeing at least 380 prisoners, including at least 20 insurgents described by police as "very dangerous," authorities and the militants said.
The raid by more than 100 fighters was a dramatic display of the strength of the insurgency gripping the nuclear-armed country. The escaped prisoners may now rejoin the fight, giving momentum to a movement that has killed thousands of Pakistani officials and ordinary citizens since 2007. (AP)
