100 Ugandan inmates escape

Kampala - More than 100 prisoners have escaped from a jail in northwestern Uganda after suspected criminals sneaked into the prison compound and opened the cells, said officials on Thursday.
Adjumani district commissioner Patrick Buriiku said: "Up to 114 prisoners were released from Openzinzi Prison by suspected fellow criminals on Wednesday morning during a heavy storm."
Media reports here said insurgents from the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) allegedly broke into the facility and abducted the prisoners but officials dismissed the claims.
Buriiku added: "Our intelligence indicates those who freed the inmates were only three people who never fired any shots and they are unlikely to have been LRA rebels."
Prison officials explained the trio entered the prison by cutting a wire fence before breaking prison cell padlocks.
But security officials in Kampala expressed doubt the inmates were let out by other suspects and instead suggested that the escape could be a conspiracy.
One official who wanted to remain anonymous said: "Somebody simply opened the gates of hell and everybody walked to heaven. The LRA are criminals, but we doubt they committed this current crime."
Buriiku said more than 50 escapees had voluntarily surrendered earlier on Thursday as hunt for the others continued.
