(AP) A Libyan security
official says nearly 50 inmates have fled a prison in an oasis city in
the country’s southern desert, and authorities shot one dead during the
escape.
The security official said the
inmates broke out of the prison in Sabha early Tuesday. He said prison
guards fired warning shots to stop them, which resulted in the death of
one. Two others were injured.
The official said nine inmates
were arrested while authorities continue the search for 36 others. The
official said the prisoners were rioting against what they said were
bad prison conditions, setting fire to their cells, and breaking up
doors. He said they jumped over the prison wall. He spoke on condition
of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.
