At least 40 Taleban prisoners are being hunted in Afghanistan after escaping from a jail in the south of the country.
The inmates are thought have escaped through a tunnel at the jail in Kandahar on Friday night, the BBC has been told.Military spokesman General Abdul Wase told AFP news agency that most of those held in the jail were "criminals" arrested during military operations or on the basis of security intelligence. Police and the army would hold separate inquiries, he added.
Remnants of the Taleban, the former regime in Afghanistan carry out attacks in the south and south-east of the country regularly.
