jailbreak in Georgia: some details

Prison authorities in Georgia are being asked to explain the circumstances of an embarrassing jailbreak near the capital, Tbilisi. Three prisoners used a tunnel to reach freedom, and a hunt is on to recapture them. Correspondents say the breakout was made easier because the men used a thirty-metre tunnel which had been discovered at Rustavi prison during an escape attempt seven years ago, BBC reports. The Georgian justice ministry wants to know why only three metres of the tunnel had been refilled after the previous attempt.
