475 Taliban Militants Escape from Jail in four and a half hours!!! Where are the securities? This can be awarded the greatest escape ever

These 475 Taliban militants including 100 commanders escaped from the main prison in Kandahar in Southern Afghanistan through a tunnel dug into the prison's political wing. A spokesman for the Afghan president,  Hamid Karzai describes the security lapse as a disaster.  The Taliban rented a home outside the jail and spend five months digging a 360 meter tunnel inside it. Many of the escapees were first arrested during hard fighting last year. The escape will almost certainly lead to an upsurge in violence in the city and surrounded area which has long been the Taliban’s heartland. So far only a dozen have been recaptured.
