Jail breaks are common in Iraq and security at prisons was beefed up this week after five snuffies stormed a police counter-terrorism headquarters on Tuesday in an attempt to free Al-Qaeda prisoners. All five were killed in a long shootout.
A front man for the justice ministry, Haider al-Saadi, said in a statement that 11 "dangerous prisoners" at Abu Ghraib dug down three meters and had tunneled along 20 meters using a frying pan and part of a ceiling fan before they were discovered.
