"Hundreds of convicts, including senior members of al-Qaida, broke out of Iraq's Abu Ghraib jail as comrades launched a military-style assault to free them, authorities said on Monday. ...
Suicide bombers drove cars packed with explosives to the gates of the prison on the outskirts of Baghdad on Sunday night and blasted their way into the compound, while gunmen attacked guards with mortars and rocket-propelled grenades. Other militants took up positions near the main road, fighting off security reinforcements sent from Baghdad as several militants wearing suicide vests entered the prison on foot to help free the inmates."
Abu Ghraib jail break: al-Qaida attack frees as many as 500 from Abu Ghraib.
All I can say is: Holy ****.
That's the difference between US Military control, and Iraqi control. They tried that **** before when we were still there, but got sent packing after we killed a **** load of them. I think it was something like 90% of the assaulting force killed and wounded. That was just the personnel we had on site. The Iraqis sent in reinforcements from Baghdad and still lost control of the facility. Fantastic.
