Haiti's Top Political Prisoners Forced From Prison in Daylight Attack, Returned Next Day By Benjamin Melancon, Posted on Sun Feb 20th, 2005 Three or four men dressed in black and armed with assault rifles drove up in a jeep and began firing into the air and at the prison, killing at least one guard, Associated Press reported. Poorly armed prison guards fled the National Penitentiary in Port-au-Prince, reported Xinhau, the Chinese news agency. Hundreds of prisoners may have escaped after the attack, though the AP reported that dozens of police immediately swarmed around the prison, setting up roadblocks and searching cars.
