Qari Yousuf Ahmadi

KANDAHAR, Apr. 25 – Last night (Apr. 25), Mujahideen of Islamic Emirate, with the help of Allah SWT, managed to break into Kandahar prison and free 541 prisoner Mujahideen which included 106 commanders.

Kandahar prison is considered as one of the largest and most secure prisons in the country. Two of its most important subdivisions are for criminal and political prisoners. All 541 Mujahideen were kept in the political branch, from where they were freed once again by Mujahideen in Kandahar through the leadership of Islamic Emirate.

As per plan, Mujahideen started digging a 360 meter tunnel to the prison from the south side, which was completed after a 5 month period, bypassing enemy check posts and Kandahar-Herat main highway leading directly to the political prison.

The tunnel reached its target last night, from where the prisoner Mujahideen were led away through the escape route by 3 previously informed inmates in a period of four and a half hours, starting from 11:00 pm last night and ending at 3:30 am this morning. Mujahideen later on sent vehicles to the inmates who were led away to secure destinations.

The most astonishing thing throughout the operation, as reported by Mujahideen informants was that all the enemy forces inside the prison, which includes foreign invaders, did not notice the results of the operation even 4 hours later and hence has not released any statements. Mujahideen had also placed a Martyrdom seeking group near the prison, whose need did not arise due to the inaction shown by the enemy.

It is also worth mentioning that the enemy forces, despite placing security cameras in and around the prison, have still not been able to figure out the details of this operation.
