| At least 12 people were killed when captured al-Qaeda grabbed weapons and opened fire while being taken to jail by Pakistani guards. Six of the prisoners and five security forces were killed in the revolt. A bus driver also died. 156 prisoners were being taken by bus from a detention center in Parachinar in the Kurram tribal agency, to Peshawar when the revolt broke out. Many of the captives tried to run away, some had been rounded up and the rest had been surrounded. The prisoners were mainly Arabs who had escaped from eastern Afghanistan and had not been handcuffed. |
