EIGHTEEN prisoners busted out of an Indonesian jail by spraying guards in the face with water mixed with fiery chillis, police said today.Armed with plastic bottles filled with the improvised weapon, the convicts temporarily disabled two guards before fleeing the state jail in North Sumatra's Pematang Siantar district. "They overpowered two wardens by squirting them with chilli water and fled," district police chief detective Den Martin told AFP.
Ten of the group were caught soon after the weekend jail-break, including one who was shot in the leg as he resisted arrest, while six others were nabbed by early today, Mr Martin said. "Two remain on the loose and we are continuing our search," he said.
