Around 300 prisoners had escaped in a similar jailbreak in Bannu when scores of militants stormed the dungeon in April last year. Inspector General Police (IGP) Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Ihsan Ghani told The News that 60 to 70 men, armed with heavy weapons and explosives, carried out the attack during which around 250 prisoners managed to escape.A number of hardened militants were among the inmates of the Dera Ismail Khan Central Prison. Among them was Walid Akbar, who had been awarded 1,616 years jail sentence for his involvement in bombing of the Ashura procession in the city last year.The IGP KP, along with Inspector General Prisons Khalid Abbas and other senior officials of the Home and Tribal Affairs Department,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler down jackets[/url], on Tuesday reached Dera Ismail Khan from Peshawar to visit the prison.Officials and eyewitnesses said over 100 attackers came in vehicles and also on motorbikes to storm the prison from all the four sides simultaneously as one group opened fire on a security checkpost near the jail that was built in 1854.“The attackers killed six policemen including Mazhar Hussain, Saifullah, Rustam,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler outlet[/url], Mir Zaman and Piao Sardar.

Due to expansion of the city and increase in the population,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler on sale[/url], the prison is now located in densely populated part and the bomb blasts could be heard in the nearby localities all night. It also scared the people and prompted them not to venture outside.Dozens of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and other explosives were defused during an operation to sweep the prison. “The bomb disposal unit (BDU) experts defused 28 time bombs, four remote-control IEDs, a suicide jacket, five rockets and eight grenades during the search operation.

He directed the authorities to increase security of the prisons.Furthermore, 27 cops, including a superintendent of police (SP), were suspended for showing negligence during the whole episode.The authorities had reportedly got reports that the militants were planning to attack the prison. Ominously, a clash inside the Dera Ismail Khan Central Prison a day earlier had resulted in injuries to two cops.“We had taken shelter in a nearby bakery. The attackers also shot dead the watchman of the bakery when he fired two shots in the air,[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]discount moncler jackets[/url],[url=http://www.moncler-sale.org]moncler on sale[/url],” said an eyewitness.Some eyewitnesses said the police arrived too late as armed men had taken positions on all the four sides to counter them.Commissioner Dera Ismail Khan Mushtaq Jadoon told reporters that 242 prisoners had escaped during the attack.
