Snapshot: The world in 24 hours, April 25
General Ghulam Dastgir, the governor in charge of the Kandahar jail, points to the hole which inmates used to escape April 25, 2011. Insurgents tunnelled into the main jail in Afghanistan's volatile Kandahar province on Monday, freeing hundreds of prisoners, including many Taliban commanders, a serious setback for US forces who hope to start withdrawing in coming months.
