The Philippines

110 inmates on run after jailbreak

Philippine authorities said on Thursday that they had captured or killed dozens of men who escaped in the nation's biggest jailbreak but more than 110 remained on the run in vast farmlands and isolated villages of the nation's strife-torn south. Suspected Muslim guerrillas stormed a decrepit jail in Kidapawan on Wednesday, freeing 158 prisoners and killing a guard, in what authorities said may have been a bid to free rebels.
