Taliban fighters have freed more than 400 prisoners including 150 insurgents with a suicide bomb attack on an Aghan jail.
The insurgents wore military uniforms for the organised attack, in which four guards were killed and another seven were injured as the bomb took down the main gates on Ghazni prison. Three Taliban were also killed.
More than 400 prisoners were freed in the attack, and officials said that at least 148 of them are considered 'a serious threat to national security,' believed to be Taliban fighters. However, 20 of the facility's most dangerous inmates had been transferred the day before.
WNU Editor: It is now safe to assume that any talks of peace and reconciliation in the foreseeable future is now dead.
