Islamic State raid on Afghan prison sees hundreds escape, 29 killed
At least 29 people have been killed in a raid on an Afghan prison claimed by the Islamic State group, officials say.
Fighting is still raging at the jail in the eastern city of Jalalabad, where some 1,700 IS and Taliban inmates are being held.
IS’s news outlet Amaq says its fighters were behind the raid, which saw hundreds of inmates escape before many of them were recaptured.
