Taliban militants attacked a prison in north-west 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.

Interesting news. Sometime back an "accidental fire" destroyed ISI headquarters and fire department was not on scene for several hours to douse flames. Supposedly lot of "documents" on whereabouts of terr0r organizations got "destroyed." Now "taliban militants" somehow free Porky militants. I am sure just like Kargil "militants," these "Taliban militants" will have valid Porky Govt issues military ID cards. Anyone want to bet on this with me?
