“More than 1,000 inmates, mostly common law offenders, escaped during a prison riot and attack on Saturday in the restive Libyan city of Benghazi, a security official told AFP. ‘There was a riot inside Al-Kuifiya prison, as well as an attack from outside. More then 1,000 prisoners escaped. Special forces called in as reinforcements were given orders not to fire at the prisoners,’ he said, asking not to be named. Prime Minister Ali Zeidan confirmed the incident, without giving the number of fugitives. ‘Residents of the area carried out the attack because they don’t want the prison near their homes,’ he said.”
