I don't know about this but after all we've been through since 2000 NOTHING would surprise me anymore. Remember how many times we've "captured" or "killed" "the number two man of Al-Quaeda"?

SANAA, Yemen — Investigators are looking into the possibility that Yemeni intelligence officers helped 23 al Qaeda prisoners -- including a militant convicted in the 2000 USS Cole bombing -- escape from an underground prison located beneath a heavily guarded security headquarters, officials said Monday.

The prisoners escaped Friday, apparently by digging a tunnel some 180 metres long that emerged at a mosque, the security officials said.

It was not the first major prison escape for al Qaeda militants. At least four members of the group broke out of a prison at Bagram, the main U.S. base in Afghanistan in July. Among them was Omar al-Farouq, a top leader of al Qaeda in Southeast Asia.

An investigation headed by the Yemeni interior minister has begun questioning intelligence officers, government and security officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity. >

1. They broke out because they hate freedom...

Or it could have been the extravigant banquets, nightly story time, and daily foot massages. Ask Rummy, he'll tell you all about it. The prisons are more of a spa than anything else right?...right?...
