Islamic Militants Storm Prison in Pakistan Today; Free 384 Islamists, Some "Dangerous Insurgents"

The Daily Beast website reports that 150 Islam militants -- armed with grenades and rockets -- stormed a prison in Pakistan today (April 15, 2012), freeing 384 Islamist militants.

The attack was on a prison in a tribal region where the Taliban and al Qaeda are known to hold sway.

The two-hour attack on the prison included a force of gunmen in cars and pickup trucks and succeeded in freeing "some hard-core militants," a Pakistani official said.

The attacks seem to have targeted barracks where "dangerous insurgents" were quartered.
