This shows the the Afghan government cannot secure its prisoners those who were escaped from the jail are very dangerous digging of a tunnel at about 320 meters is not a work of one or two days it will take more than a few weeks so until the prisoners escape what were the secured police doing? it is very irresponsibility.
ReplyDeleteIt seems quite likely there’s been some complicity in this escape from prison staff. But one area where Brechers analysis fails is that it wasn’t prisoners digging out, it was Taliban digging INTO the prison to spring their fellow boy-cuddlers. There was no need to carry any dirt out to the yard. The tunnel was dug from outside and then it was just a matter of breaching the floor and letting the prisoners out, which to be fair here would probably have taken some looking the other way on part of at least some of the guards.
