Islamic militants have attacked a jail in the southern Philippines, to help effect the escape of 30 prisoners.

Two people, including a prison guard, were killed during a gunfight as the prisoners fled into the surrounding area.

It is known that many Muslim guerrillas were being held in the jail.

Gunmen attacked the prison walls with sledgehammers to break through the perimeter before using boltcutters to get through bolted doors.

One of the prison guards was killed and another injured during the clash.

The escapees included members of Muslim rebel group, the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and suspected militants from the Abu Sayyaf group.

Some of the escapees had been accused of beheading soldiers.

鐵鎚破牆 菲游擊隊劫31囚

<label></label> 更新日期:<q>2009/12/14 02:58</q> 梁東屏／曼谷十三日電
中國時報【梁東屏／曼谷十三日電】
大約卅名疑似伊斯蘭好戰分子的槍手，十三日清晨用鐵鎚擊破菲律賓南部巴希蘭島一處監獄外牆，衝入之後與獄方人員交火，致使包括一名獄卒在內的兩人死亡，同時至少有卅一名囚犯成功逃離。
巴希蘭島副省長薩卡拉胡指出，槍手的目的顯然是要救出關押在該所監獄內的伊斯蘭游擊隊員。他說，「不過也有許多不是游擊隊員的囚犯乘隙逃脫」。
薩卡拉胡表示，槍手擊破監獄外牆後，再用鋼剪剪斷牢房的鎖。
當地軍事指揮官多洛芬洛少將表示，脫逃的卅一名囚犯中，包括「莫洛回教解放陣線」以及「聖劍」（阿布薩亞夫）成員。其中有兩名「莫洛解放陣線」成員被指控於二○○七年在巴希蘭島將十幾名菲國士兵斬首。
這座監獄位在巴希蘭島首府伊莎貝拉市，曾有多次越獄紀錄。去年，有三名「聖劍」成員脫逃，二○○七年時，有十六名囚犯越獄。五年前，五十三名囚犯用偷運進監獄的武器制服獄卒，然後越獄成功。

Militants attack Philippines jail and free 31 inmates

Scores of suspected Islamists burst through a concrete wall surrounding a prison in the volatile southern Philippines, freeing 31 inmates.



Published: 12:51PM GMT 13 Dec 2009


The assault at the provincial jail in Isabela on Basilan island sparked a gun battle with guards that left two people dead.
Al Rasheed Sakalahul, the regional vice-governor, said 70 heavily armed men cut through padlocks with boltcutters after using a sledgehammer to destroy the wall at the jail iin order to free Muslim guerrillas. Other inmates also dashed to freedom, he said.


The daring assault sparked a brief clash that killed one attacker and a guard. The attackers and prisoners fled in several vehicles toward Basilan's jungle-covered mountainous heartland.
At least 31 inmates escaped, including five militants from the Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a large Muslim rebel group engaged in peace talks with the government, and 12 from the smaller but more violent Abu Sayyaf group, which has been linked to al-Qaida.
Among those who escaped was Dan Asnawi, a Moro rebel commander, and another guerrilla who have been accused of beheading 10 marines during a 2007 clash.
"All these are high-risk prisoners," said Mr Sakalahul.
He said soldiers backed by air force helicopters were closing in on some of the fleeing inmates.

<!-- end .byline --> MANILA (Reuters) – Suspected Muslim rebels punched a hole on the wall of a provincial jail on a remote southern island in the Philippines and freed 31 prisoners before dawn on Sunday, security officials said.
They killed one jail guard and wounded another during a 10-minute raid at the main prison on southern Basilan island, Superintendent Abubakar Tulawie, provincial police chief, told reporters.
"We got two of them. Their bodies were abandoned just outside the jail's perimeter," Tulawie said, adding the raiders rescued two Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) leaders detained there for their role in the beheading of soldiers on Basilan in 2007.
"These two rebel leaders are high-risk prisoners. We have organized a team together with the military units on the island to pursue them. We've started an internal inquiry to determine responsibility for the lax security in the jail."
The MILF, which is seeking broad autonomy in southern Mindano island, is in peace talks with the government. Another Muslim rebel group Abu Sayyaf, once linked to al Qaeda, is also fighting in the south, but it was not clear if any of their jailed members escaped.
Tulawie said the raiders used sledge hammers to make an opening on the prison's 18-foot high rear perimeter wall and used bolt cutters to destroy the padlock of a jail cell where the two rebel commanders were held before shooting their way out.
Only four of 16 guards were on duty at that time.
The two rebel leaders who escaped were on trial for the murder of 14 soldiers in al-Barka town in July 2007. Twenty-nine other prisoners got out. The one-hectare facility has 65 inmates. Police authorities said it was the second mass jailbreak on the island after 53 inmates escaped during a riot in 2004.
Jailbreaks are common in the Philippines, where many of the more than 1,000 penitentiaries across the archipelago are overcrowded and guards are underpaid.

Manhunt for jailbreakers

<!-- story content : start --> MANILA - ABOUT 2,000 troops fanned out Monday on a southern Philippine island to hunt down 31 militants and other inmates who escaped from a jail, as well as Muslim guerrillas whom the military blamed for the daring attack. Troops killed one fugitive from the Al-Qaeda-linked Abu Sayyaf group, while another inmate surrendered, a senior military commander said. Major General Benjamin Dolorfino blamed the 11,000-strong Moro Islamic Liberation Front for Sunday's raid on the Basilan provincial jail. He demanded that the group surrender 10 guerrillas who escaped or helped in the assault that killed a jail guard and one of the attackers. The main rebel group, which last week resumed peace talks with the government, denied any role but acknowledged at least one member who joined in the attack was killed. The raid was the latest in back-to-back crises underscoring the complexity of conflicts in the southern Philippines, an impoverished region awash with firearms, outlaws, political warlords and Muslim insurgents. About 70 gunmen used a sledgehammer and boltcutters to tear a hole in the concrete wall of the jail, which had 40 detainees, then barged inside to spring their comrades. Five Moro rebels and 12 from the smaller Abu Sayyaf extremist group escaped, Basilan Vice Governor Al Rasheed Sakalahul said. The rest who fled were common criminals, he said. While the criminals were expected to surrender, the militants will likely 'fight it out to the last drop of their blood,' General Dolorfino said. Troops launched offensives in two Basilan hinterland areas where the militants were sighted, he said. -- AP

Rather obvious to me that reporters worked really close to the rebels, in order to be able to take this shot without being shot. Also that prison guards are obvious not shooting at all.

The next time famiLEE LEEgime puts me in jail I will know how to stay nearer to the Filipino FT inmates to get a FOC toilet break. I will know that some walls will be busted open any time.
