Seven escape in turban jailbreak
Seven prisoners, including a number convicted of murder, have escaped from a Pakistani jail by using their turbans for ropes. The prisoners broke through a toilet window in the jail in Machh, 50km (31 miles) south of the capital of Balochistan province, Quetta. They then scaled the high-security jail's perimeter wall with the turbans. Most of the convicts were serving terms of more than 20 years. A hunt is under way in nearby villages.
