JALALABAD, Afghanistan—Afghan security forces laid siege to a prison seized by ISIS terrorists in the eastern city of Jalalabad on Monday, with at least 29 people killed after the terrorists’ overnight assault led to a mass jailbreak.
More than 300 prisoners were at large, Attaullah Khugyani, spokesman for the governor of Nangarhar province, said. Of the 1,793 prisoners, more than 1,025 had tried to escape and been recaptured and 430 had remained inside.
