Terrorists escape Abu Ghraib prison

Remember Abu Ghraib? Reuters is reporting that hundreds of prisoners, including senior members of al Qaeda, have broken out of the prison, as terrorists launched a military-style attack.

Suicide bombers drove cars packed with explosives to the gates of the prison on the outskirts of Baghdad on Sunday night and blasted their way into the compound, while gunmen attacked guards with mortars and rocket-propelled grenades.

Other militants took up positions near the main road, fighting off security reinforcements sent from Baghdad as several militants wearing suicide vests entered the prison on foot to help free the inmates.
