Over 54 detainees have escaped from a prison in Libya's capital city, Tripoli, as a result of a security failure.
"Judicial Police Lt. Col. Ahmed Abu Kara said in a Sunday statement that the escapees smashed the building's rear protective windows, while guards were distributing the inmates' breakfast. He said the prison was short five guards at the time of the Saturday breakout," FOX NEWS reported.
There has been a security vacuum in the North African country following the ousting of Muammar Qaddafi. The absence of a strong police and military makes the government depend on militias.
