Kidapawan: Suspected Muslim rebels staged the Philippines' biggest jailbreak today when they stormed a dilapidated jail in the violence-plagued south of the country, freeing 158 inmates and killing a guard, authorities said.
The attack added to a long history of daring jailbreaks in the southern Philippines, home to a decades-old Muslim separatist insurgency as well as extremist gangs that have recently declared allegiance to the ISIS.
More than 100 armed men believed to have been led by a local Muslim guerrilla commander attacked the jail to free fellow rebels.
